Mobility Assistance Service Dogs
Mobility Assistance Dogs
These service dogs can help their
human partner in a variety of physical tasks.
Tasks May Include:
- Bumping the button on automatic doors
- Retrieving dropped items
- Bringing items that are out of reach
- Assisting in pulling a wheelchair up a ramp
- Bracing for people who suffer from balance and strength issues
- Tugging open and closing doors
- Turning lights on and off
- Finding another person in the house or hitting an alert button to signal for help
In public, a mobility assistance dog is an invaluable helper, quietly serving their partner with tasks that would be difficult or impossible to do on their own.
