Service Dogs In Training

WAGS dogs are trained to help individuals who have limited physical mobility. Some of the skills our dogs learn are pushing accessible door buttons, tugging open a refrigerator door, flipping a light switch, or retrieving items and placing them in the individual’s hand or lap.

WAGS works exclusively with Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. WAGS dogs are raised, socialized, and trained by volunteers under the direct supervision and guidance of our Training Director and are supported in many ways by the community. We use the positive reinforcement training approach to teach and shape the dogs skills and behaviors.
