The Bagpiper is the third dog I've graduated out of Happy Tails in the past twenty years. In Piper's sixteen months of training, he learned to pick up things I drop (practically everything I touch), brace to pick me up off the floor or ground, brace for balance issues, and assist with stairs, slopes, and curbs. He faced far more challenges than my other two service dogs but, with our trainer's expert guidance, he was able to overcome them. Now I have a quality dog I can depend on to make my life easier and safer.
