Joep (my youngest dog) is just as my first dog Cindy and Quita my oldest dog registrated as a servicedog in our municipality Amersfoort where Hoogland (the little town we live) belong to. This means that my dogs can go with me into the shops and the citycentre of Amersfoort, normally forbidden for dogs. Also they can walk free on
places where it's forbidden to let out dogs. |

At the begin of
October Joep have done an examiniation successful as servicedog by the
Foundation Personal Servicedogs in Tweede Exloërmond,
a training-school special for assistencedogs, |
 |
Joep assist me with:
* open / close a door
* open/ close kitchen-cupboard
* taking off my coat/ clothes
* pick up/ give everything like: - post
- objects of metal ( example bunch of keys/ knife)
- foodstuffs (example meats and sausages/ fruit)
- coins
* clothes in and out the washing-machine
* give the purse to the cassier in shops
* get out purchases of a shopping bag (example milk /
dogbiscuits/ tin of drinks)
But also walk nicely close near the wheelchair, on the right and left side, even
on the road with trafic.
Of course always behave very good, even when we meet other dogs or cats and not
pick-up (without a command) eatable things on the ground (example a piece of
bread).
