Service Dog Training Video

Gage, a male Doberman Pinscher from Locust Grove, Virginia, shows off his new skills as an SDAP Balance Dog. In making the transition from an unruly house pet to a 28 C.F.R., Subpart A § 35.104 and ADA compliant Service Dog, Gage underwent Basic On Leash Obedience Training, Extended Off-Leash Obedience Training, Agility Training comparable to that of a Police K-9, specialized Balance Dog Training and also learned to summon medical assistance using the SDAP, LLC MA-100 Medical Alert and Automation System. When Gage steps on the box, two way communication is established with medical and security personnel and simultaneously the SDAP system turns on lights throughout the home, takes control the security system, and operates appliances like garage doors all of which are linked via a standard extension cord to the home's existing electrical wiring using carrier wave and radio frequency signals. Gage will also recall to the side of his fallen owner and then assist in recovery from a fall. Gage was trained at Aberdeen Acres Pet Care Center in Winchester, Virginia and meets all the federal and legislative requirements of the ADA and 28 C.F.R., Subpart A § 35.104. As seen in the video, Gage does work and performs tasks for an individual with disabilities. Learn more at www.servicedogproducts.com.

Thats what I need. Does he pick things up too?

[servicedogequipment]

@Los4Molinas925 Yes he does pick things up. He will pick up an entire room of children's toys and put them in a clothes basket as well as pens, etc. He will also pull wheel chairs, lift you from your chair. He can summon medical help and operate lights, curling irons, coffee makes, security systems and many other things. He is probably one of the most capable service dogs in the country.

This brought tears to my eyes! What a wonderful animal. I recently acquired a GSD pup (now 10 weeks) that my fiance and I plan to train ourselves (with professionals of course!) to help with my disability. Training her has given me a new meaning to the word love. She's just a baby, and a puppy is a puppy but I see what she is capable of already. Dogs like these are vastly and immeasurably improve people's lives.

Dog looks stiff and terrified. Also I NEVER use my PSD's harness for bracing. I use His shoulders and hips.

* I would like to know if the dogs hips and knees have been OFA checked, which ALL SDs (especially mobility dogs) need to have done before they are worked or cleared to start heavy mobility training*.

His knees are incredibly straight and not good conformation for the breed. As far as his tasks, I know many many SDs that can do all that is listed except for the curling iron (that type of heat is too dangerous for a dog to be around). Mine sorts my laundry (dark/light) and many other things.

The harness is a Bridgeport. The metal frame of that harness is built for rounder dogs (like labs). The dobie is too upright to fit this properly. When the harness shifts left to right, it pokes and pinches the rib cage. She is also using the handle incorrectly. Mobility dogs are NOT canes or walkers!!!! All work with the handle should be in an upward movement. You should never, NEVER use strong downward pressure on a dog, and if you do, you bridge your hands on the dog's shoulders & hips

[TheArtiemouse]

I'm sorry, but as a SD user with a mobility dog there are so many errors not only with the dog, but the handler too. I would like to know if the dogs hips and the knees are incredibly straight. His back is roached (humped). This could be due to poor fit of the harness, the harness bridge being too big or too small. To have a dog in a "heel" position is not only ridiculous, but incredibly unhelpful. The dog needs to be slightly in front and NOT turning his head into the body of the hander.

The chic is hot.

@servicedogequipment Where is the harness from? Or is it from the training organization?

[Guitarrgirl]

I trained my dog to do these tasks fore plus more. My kids taught him to turn off lights and he figured out how to open the sliding glass door all on his own. He also picks up stuff. Even credit cards off a slick floor.
