Assistance labradoodles

Every puppy is socialized and imprinted from the moment of birth to maximize its potential as a service dog.

The pups are then temperament tested
at six weeks of age to select the ones that will begin service dog training. Often the only factor distinguishing the ones who will go into training from those that will go to families as pets is which ones have a natural retrieve ability

Support labradoodles

Used by people who need physical support or assistance when they lose their balance.

Other jobs for service dogs can include
pulling wheelchairs, turning lights on or off, opening drawers, and bringing a needed item to a person with a disability..

Therapy laradoodles

NOT legally considered to be service dogs.

Therapy dogs provide the warm,
emotional support for which our canine friends are so famous. Most often, you'll see therapy dogs used in public settings such as care homes, hospitals and schools. However, there is a growing awareness that the individual with disabilities can derive great benefits from a personal therapy dog in their private home.

Children with autism,
who may be emotionally withdrawn, can benefit from a therapy dog who gently insists on human contact. Those with sensory integration disorders can slowly be desensitised to a wide spectrum of types of contact by a caring, affectionate dog who is gently persistent in its contacts with the owner. Summer's daughter Hannah, for instance, was long unable to tolerate any touch to her face without gagging. Coco Pops' persistence in giving Hannah soft, gentle kisses on her face has resulted in elimination of this gag reaction, making it easier for Hannah's therapists to perform oral motor skill therapies as well.
