This training series builds upon the foundations achieved in TEAMWORK I and is geared for the serious student who wants their dog to become more than just a good companion and friend. Each training exercise is clearly illustrated through specific case histories which demonstrate how people with various disabilities have taught their own service dogs.  You will learn how to teach your dog to pick things up … anything from coins to crutches ... how to retrieve shoes, phones, push a wheelchair, turn lights on and off, open doors; helping you rise from the floor, bed, or chair, and helping you dress.
