for a mobility dog to help me in everyday task inside and outside the home and to keep me safe in the community
Auckland
I have been granted a mobility dog to assist me in my everyday living at home and in the community, the dog will also help me with emergencies if I need my medication, get help or the phone if I fall, it will help with shoes, if I drop things pick them up, help me get the washing to the line and bring it in, opening doors, closing them, pressing crossing signal buttons generally be my right hand person. etc. I need to get to know the dog and learn the commands for the dog to assist me, also it is a time for the dog to get to know me and refine any training to suit my personal needs. This requires a 2 week period in training at a camp in Takanini so instructors are there to train me and the dog to work together. This camp provides all my meals and accommodation so I have the dog trainers on hand 24/7 to help me. The camp is an essential part of getting a mobility dog and everyone has to attend it it to get the training needed to utalize the full potential of the dogs training and assisting me for a better quality of life
These funds will be used for sending me on a 2 week training camp which teaches me how to use the commands with the dog and for the dog and myself to get to know each other. It also gives instructors time to specialize the dogs training specific to me
