What tasks are New Horizons dogs trained to perform?
We train our service dogs with over 80 commands. Our service dogs work primarily to assist adults and children in wheelchairs or those individuals with other mobility and balance problems. Our service dogs are trained to open and close doors, turn light switches on and off, retrieve various objects, as well as other specialized tasks. We have dedicated programs for veterans with disabilities and children with autism. We also have facility dogs assisting in other working situations such as rehabilitative facilities, nursing homes and private homes, depending on the dog’s temperament and abilities.
