A Helper Dog is a dog who can help you with tasks of daily living in and around the house. Examples of tasks of daily living include: Pick up dropped items such as keys, glasses, gloves, a wallet, or a phone. Pick up dog toys off the floor and put them into a toy basket. Hand you a tissue, cloth, or towel. Help you remove a jacket or sock. Close or open drawers and doors. Help with your balance as you rise from a chair. Help with your balance as you navigate a staircase. Walk alongside you while using a walker or cane. These skills can be very beneficial, particularly if you have difficulty performing certain tasks yourself, or if you just want to enrich your dog's life by giving him a job. This book shows you how to teach these skills with step by step instructions and lots of pictures!
