My wife works with a local church that helps people train their own dog. It is so rewarding to see the look on a person's face when their very own pet becomes a partner in life.

My wife trained our Portuguese Water Dog for me and she is a Godsend. I drop my crutch...no problem. I tell her to bring it and she does.

When my wife had her knee replaced last February, she trained our 'Fur Kid" to take the clothes out of the dryer, put them in a basket, then pull the basket all the way to our bedroom -- some 80 feet away.

I am not sure about listing the name of the church, don't want to break any forum rules, but I was told more and more churches are doing this.

Take Care.......
