Service Dog Theo Practices Walking in Lockstep

When now working service dog Theo was in training, our trainers noted that he was a larger dog and might make a strong candidate for counterbalance assistance (which he currently does!). Service dogs that assist with counterbalance must be able to walk stairs in lockstep with their human. In this video, Summit trainer Mike uses positive reinforcement clicker training to reinforce staying with the human when walking up and down the stairs.
