Wheelchair Skills for Assistance Dogs

Here are some basic skills that an assistance dog needs when the handler uses a wheelchair;front position,swinging to right and left, around,following in aisles and through doorways, backing up, loose leash walking, tight spaces. Note that adding training with the chair added a whole new dimension to the training and took awhile to get used to for both dog and handler. Start with stationary skills & tasks, then as your dog becomes more comfortable with the chair, start with the skills and task that require movement. Training began in a familiar environment, then as dog was successful, taken to other less familiar locations, then with increasing distractions. The addition of the leash when working in public places took some time to learn how to coordinate it, the chair, the treats and clicker. An 8 foot leash that can be easily shortened may be need for going through some heavy doors. If the person with the disability is unable to train the basic skills (due to physical disability), an assistant can train the dog first to verbal cue (or eye cue) before transitioning the dog to the handler.
