Now, PAD Marcus (Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever cross bred by PAD) and PAD Fisher (Labradoodle, bred and donated by breeder Goode Life Poodles) are preparing for their forever partners! They are both matched with young women in manual wheelchairs, who will begin Team Training on August 1st, 2016!
<They will spend the next 4 months in Advanced Training, mastering tasks such as: retrieving items, opening doors, pulling manual wheelchairs, bracing transfers and so much more. We are working hard every day to train these tasks, including tasks in their required, specialized mobility harnesses <http://boldleaddesigns.com/shop/mobility-support-harness-for-brace-and-balance-stability-assistance/ and must learn to work in these incredible harnesses. No other harness is made with the canine body in mind!
<Additional costs are retrieving items, training treats, training outings, and most costly – Team Training! Each partner receives a placement kit with dog food, monthly preventative medications, grooming gear, and leashes, treat bag, toys, and SO much more!
