Hi!




Hi, my name is Larkin! I'm a black Labrador Retriever, a service dog from Paws with a Cause in Michigan. I came to live with my owner after completing training August 15th. Today, we had our second lesson with the field trainer to teach my new owner how to work with me! I worked on pulling her wheelchair today (after they finally got my harness on correctly...), and we worked on retrieving objects she drops. My command to pull her chair is "Move", and my commands to retrieve objects are "Take It", "Hold", and "Give". I'm doing very well! I also "Heel" very well while she's on her scooter. Long walks are my favorite!
