Ken Schilling has trained dogs to do just about
anything. For people who need assistance dogs,
Ken has developed a program for training them.
Dogs can provide services like turning on light
switches, alerting deaf people when the phone
rings, or carrying items. Schilling's does not
train dogs for the visually impaired.
The average assistance dog is in training for about 1.5 years,
and lives with the Schilling family, undergoing constant
training. After training, the assistance dog is introduced to
its new owner, making an immediate bond.
