- Service dogs are specially trained to provide assistance to
people with physical disabilities, from individuals who use
wheelchairs for mobility to those requiring a steady four-legged
partner to balance them as they walk. - Some of their skills
include retrieving dropped or selected items, assisting in
dressing and undressing, pulling wheelchairs, bracing for
balance or transfers, turning lights on and off, and opening and
closing a variety of different types of doors. - People who
