This is Tikaani (it means wolf in Inuit language) he is our most successfully trained dog to date especially as he is an Alaskan Malamute (these being very head strong dogs). As you see he is an assistance dog, he was trained in about 50 hours.

What is able to do?

• go and get a phone and bring it to you 

• Open a cupboard door and bring you a bottle of drink

• take your socks off and other items

• Get you your keys even if you drop them on the floor

• take the washing out of the washing machine

• put away his toys or other things into a box

• Take a container of things up stairs for you

These are just a few things he can do there are lots more as an assistance dog.

He is also trained as a protection dog.

What can he do?

• He can hold a person in a place : he will bark at them holding them on  the spot he has been told for them to stay

• He can run after a person and grab their arm: holding their arm until he gets a release command

• He can search a property  and alert you of a persons presence

Again these are just a few things he can do as a protection dog.
