ECAD breeds and trains Assistance Dogs for clients with a wide variety of disabilities and needs. Our dogs are taught to retrieve items, open doors, activate light switches, pull wheelchairs, balance, brace, and perform many other highly specialized tasks through the ECADemy© training program.

From the ECAD Office
DOGS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN! Most of our schools are closed during late August. So, most of our dogs have some vacation time. They're enjoying time with Home Handlers. The dogs are also getting some intensive training from our trainers before school starts.

On August 5th over 100 people attended ECAD's graduation at Green Chimneys School. We shared good food, good company and the opportunity to see first hand how Marley, Pepsi, Mayer and Garrison are improving the lives of four children and their families. Additionally, Rachel Southworth, Marcy Gray, Sheila Cothran and Aurelie Douay received "diplomas" from Train the Trainer.
