Service Dog and Therapy Dog Training:
Service
Dog and/or Therapy dog is the catch all term for any dog that helps a
physically or mentally disabled person. There are many services that a
dog can provide. We do not handle all areas of service work but we do
handle these types of service work.
 Mobility
Assist Dog: Pulls a person's wheelchair, carries things
in a backpack, picks up things a person drops, opens/closes doors.
Stability
or Balance Dog: Helps the handler walk by balancing or
acting as a counter balance. Does many of the tasks that the Mobility
Assist Dog
Training
can be at any age but the dog must be trained in Basic Obedience and Off Leash Obedience
before we can get into any specialty training. Training can
be a long process and not every dog qualifies. At the time of
completion we will give you an ID card with all the information that
will allow you to travel and enter many public places like:
Local business and Restaurants
Government
Buildings
Churches
Shopping
Malls
Airports
and Public Transportation
Any
place
you visit your service dog can accompany you
Make sure you speak with us if
you are interested and we will steer you in the right direction. You
