I bet you didn't know dogs could do THIS.
This is the dog I trained from a puppy last year. His name is Yohan.
4 separate streams of training done; basic obedience and shop work with me for 13 months. Guiding, assistance and wheelchair with 3 (and more) separate trainers in Cork since April 2025. Over 2 years total.
This video is from his trainer who did his wheelchair phase work.
Yohan begins his journey with his new forever owner soon.

@GracelessHippo@mastodon.ie My sister is a dog trainer (not for service dogs, for pet dogs). So I am not very surprised, but I *am* constantly in awe of how smart and good dogs are! ❤️

@GracelessHippo@mastodon.ie We don’t deserve dogs. They are gifts from above.
