Train your dog to be a good helper for people with disabilities

Do you believe that dogs can not only be pets, but also a good helper for human beings? In Sydney, Australia, there is a special dog training center that trains dogs to not only open doors, but also to pick up cell phones and make life more independent for people with disabilities. A dog training center in Sydney, Australia, trains not just pets, but a variety of dogs that can actually help people. Most of the dogs trained here are Golden Retrievers or Labradors, and they are smart enough to open doors and pick up cell phones. Many partially paralyzed people with disabilities have been able to take care of themselves and learn to be independent with the help of these dogs. Dog trainer Bob Biggs said, “People with disabilities can go back to work or go back to college, they don’t have to rely on social assistance, they can earn their own money and become more independent.” McJade, who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident four years ago, has only been with his dog for two weeks but has already developed a revolutionary bond. He says: “He’s already a companion, we’re tied together; I wouldn’t give him up for the world.” On average, dogs trained here undergo two years of specialized training before they can be assigned to people with disabilities. The training center hopes to train at least 30 qualified dog helpers to benefit humanity in the coming year.
