CaPR trains dogs to provide assistance to people who have limited mobility, from individuals who use wheelchairs to those requiring a steady four-legged partner to balance them as they walk.
Some of the dogs' skills include retrieving dropped or selected items, assisting in dressing and undressing, pulling wheelchairs, bracing for balance or transfers, turning lights on and off, opening and closing doors, and pushing elevator buttons. Any person who receives a CaPR service dog must provide it with ample opportunity to perform the skills it has been trained to do.
