Objective	OB01: Entertain and accompany a PwD OB03: Maintain the autonomy of PwD OB04: Reduce the workload of the nurses working at the nursing home OB05: Reduce stress and offer a distraction for the PwD
TDP	N/A
Actors	Person with Dementia, Nurse/Caretaker, Dogg0
Pre-condition	Going for a walk is possible. That depends on whether conditions are suitable and if it fits in the schedule. Nurse/Caretaker can provide this schedule to Dogg0
Post-condition	The walk has ended.
Action sequence	'Going for a walk' can be initiated in three ways: 1) A Person with Dementia gives cue to dog that he/she wants to go for a walk by giving the commando 'walk'. 2) Dogg0 displays its' "willingness to walk" behaviour and patient follows Dogg0. 3) Nurse/Caretaker takes the patient on a walk themselves. In case 1 and 2, the Nurse/Caretaker gets notified that the Person with Dementia wants to for a walk. The Nurse/Caretaker proceeds to assist PwD going for a walk while Dogg0 follows. Dogg0 should be autonomous enough to follow but the Nurse/Caretaker could intervene if something goes wrong.
