What Is A Service Dog?
A service dog is a dog individually trained to perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability.
Service dogs perform a wide variety of tasks, which enable individuals to experience increased independence and enhanced quality of life.
Service dogs trained through CFS are able to perform a wide array of everyday tasks for their partners. Depending on the type of training, our dogs can:
- Turn on lights and open doors
- Provide balance and stability
- Retrieve dropped items
- Load a washer and unload a dryer
- Provide assistance with dressing and undressing
- Assist in making the bed and doing laundry
- Provide physical support for transfers to and from a wheelchair
