Erratum: Gravrok, J., et al. Beyond the Benefits of Assistance Dogs: Exploring Challenges Experienced by First-Time Handlers. Animals 2019, 9, 203

The authors wish to make the following corrections [1]:

1. In Table 1, under case study 4, the code was originally labeled as H8, P8 and ADI 8; these labels should be H4, P4 and ADI 4, respectively. Please see the corrected Table 1 below. The codes were used correctly in the text.

2. In the first paragraph of 3.1.3 Hospital Admissions, the sentence “Even the handler who kept the dog with him during the hospital admission noted a regression in training.” should be removed. This was an error.

3. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.
