๐พ Meet Leo, the superstar service dog in training! ๐พ
In this video, youโll see Leo working on an essential task for his handler, who has autism. Leo is learning to push buttons that help add prompts to his handlerโs daily routine. Here, heโs pressing the button to say โgood morningโ and start a positive wake-up routine.
Weโre also working on other prompt buttons like โbrush your teeth,โ โscreen time,โ and โgetting ready to go out.โ Leo is incredibly smart and is doing an amazing job supporting his young handler with the guidance of his mom.
We couldnโt be prouder of Leoโs progress! ๐ถโจ

๐พ โEver wonder why we have service dogs by our side?โ Itโs a question we often receive, and while we appreciate the curiosity, we also want to respect the privacy of our clientsโ medical information. At @woofability_servicedogs , our service dogs are more than just companions; theyโre integral members of our team, trained to provide essential assistance to individuals with disabilities. From assisting those with invisible disabilities to offering support to those with mobility challenges, our service dogs play a vital role in enhancing accessibility and independence. While weโre happy to provide general information about the role of service dogs, we understand that discussing personal medical details may not be comfortable for everyone. Thatโs why we offer informational cards to our teams to hand out, the cards explain more about our services and the benefits of having a service dog. If you are handed a card please let our teams continue and follow the information provided for more details. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to promote inclusivity and accessibility for all. ๐พ #ServiceDogs #Accessibility #Inclusion #ServiceDogAwareness #invisableillness #servicedogintraining

Our Heart to Home Service Dogs have been hard at work. Training in all sorts of places and scenarios, in vest and out of vest, one on one with a trainer and in group settings! We always balance out the work with play to keep them all happy, healthy and excited to work.
Eddie's training has been progressing SO much! Take a look at him practicing his 'down' and stay! We couldn't be more proud of how well he's doing during his training. A big thanks goes out to Trupanion, a sponsor of our Heart to Home dogs like Eddie! โค๏ธ ๐โ๐ฆบ
