This young black Labrador Retriever is working on skills related to their retrieve, tug and hold
Service dog Axel uses a tug to open the fridge so he can retrieve a beverage for his handler
Service dog Boomer uses nose targeting to push a drawer closed
Autism Support Dog Snipe serves as a point of support and as a sensory anchor for his young partner
Autism Assistance Dogs can help reduce sensory overload by providing deep pressure stimulation and tactile grounding
Once your service dog learns the basic retrieve, you’ll be able to expand and teach them to retrieve all types of items
In addition to providing their routine task work, service dogs can also offer comfort and a sense of stability during hospital admissions
Retrieves should be trained with a wide variety of objects and materials
