Review for ECAD, Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities, Torrington, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

ECAD is a very special organization which has helped me and my family greatly. I have a severe neuro-muscular disease, cannot walk and am permanently confined to a power wheelchair. I am also a wife and mother of 2 children. ECAD trained and provided a service dog for me. This dog has given me back the independence that my disease took away. Before ECAD, I was scared to be alone or go anywhere on my own. Now with my service dog, I am able to go out in public and enjoy my independence. The dog is trained to open doors, turn on lights, retrieve objects, help with clothing, etc. The training my service dog received is way in excess of industry standards. Also through the training I received, I am capable of taking care of the dog properly and making sure that the dog and I are safe in public. Not only does the dog help me, but now my family is relieved that I am in good "paws" when they are not around. While my disability will never go away, ECAD and my service dog have made it easier to live. Thank you ECAD for everything you do!!

Review for ECAD, Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities, Torrington, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Last August, I received a service dog from ECAD and he has changed my life! I have a neuromuscular disease and am confined to the use of an electric wheelchair to get around. I was desperate to maintain my independence, and not become dependent on my family or caregivers. My amazing Service Dog has made this possible. I no longer worry about getting around or being safe when he is with me. The ECAD organization empowered me and my Service Dog. Their dedication and expertise is a combination that makes this a very special organization.
