Companion and service animals are more than pets—they’re trusted allies in daily life, healing, and homestead resilience. In this module, you’ll learn how to care for, train, and responsibly integrate service and support animals into your off-grid or regenerative lifestyle. Whether you rely on a service dog, need emotional support from a companion animal, or want to raise animals that serve specialized homestead roles, this course gives you the tools to do so ethically, sustainably, and with heart. We’ll explore animal welfare, training basics, shelter and feeding needs, legal protections, and best practices for both handlers and caregivers—whether you’re a homesteader with a disability, a veteran seeking stability, or a family building a life that includes your animal companions.
