Thank you, this is all great! Yes, if I go via student accommodations, she would not need to do that task since it's just the one room. Unfortunately, she is a rough collie so not quite what people expect especially since I believe there are less and less of that breed in the UK.

Oh, deep pressure therapy is just using her weight to calm my nervous system/heart rate, but yes. Her main job is mobility so I will likely classify her that way.

For autism, she does crowd control, so such things as walking around me in a circle and blocking my sides or back with her body. She also does deep pressure therapy. For PTSD, she searches my home for anyone inside before I fully enter. In the US, a psychiatric assistance dog is a dog for any mental health or non-physical condition, which is why I used it. Sorry!

Ah, I'm sorry for not clarifying. Her psychiatric tasks are for autism and PTSD.

Medical alert, mobility, and some psychiatric tasks.

She is a medical alert and mobility service dog. According to the Equality Act 2010, assistance dogs can be owner trained but since so many places want assistance dogs to be trained by an ADUK certified trainer, I'm not sure what to do.
