Check out Service Dog in Training Elroy making great strides! He's improving at "back" (even if he sneaks in a sit now and then 😉), and after a little curiosity, he eagerly jumped into the trunk. Plus, he's getting calmer on his bed! Way to go, Elroy! 👏 Every day brings new progress at the training center! #SDiT #TrainingJourney #FutureServiceDog #TransformationTuesday

OUR MISSION is to enable people w/disabilities to gain greater independence & mobility through the use of Service Dogs.
About us
Welcome to East Coast Assistance Dogs, Inc., where our dogs are taught to retrieve items, open doors, activate light switches, pull wheelchairs, balance, brace, and perform many other highly specialized tasks through the ECADemy© training program. We tailor each dog's skills to the needs of our Clients, who have a variety of limitations in strength, balance, coordination, or mobility. East Coast Assistance Dogs was founded by Lu and Dale Picard. Prior to founding ECAD, Lu helped several business organizations in their startup efforts and gained experience in business and administration. Since then ECAD has received a nonprofit status and has grown to have training facilities in Connecticut and place Assistance Dogs nationwide. There is always a lot going on at ECAD, from the time the puppies are whelped until the day they graduate and every day in between. So how does it all happen? One step at a time. Like to know more and get involved, contact us. info@ecad1.org www.ecad1.org

#SaturdaySpotlight #Pupdate on #ECADGrads Zoe & #ServiceDog Archer! "Archer and Zoe are doing very well. He is now attending school full days with her Zoe, which she really enjoys having him by her side throughout the day at school to help her navigate throughout the campus and into her different classes. They have been hiking together and here is a photograph of the local country fair that we attended!" Help Dogs Help Humans: https://lnkd.in/eukaybDN

#TaskTuesday It's all about the chain of commands! This sequence helps your Service Dogs learn to retrieve and attach their leashes efficiently. It's a vital skill for assisting their handlers, especially when it comes to mobility aids like wheelchairs. #ServiceDogTraining #TaskTrainedServiceDogs #mobilityservicedogs #throwback
