Therapy animals and service animals both receive extra training to ensure that they are capable of maintaining proper behavior in public settings. Therapy animals are often trained with the purpose of recognizing emotions and emotional outbursts and can then provide support to those who are feeling discomfort, whereas a service animal is trained with a specific task to support a diagnosed medical condition. Service animals can be used for physical or psychological disorders, but it is required that they have a specific task that they perform that supports the functioning of their handler in association with their diagnosis.
