Sue and foster dog Leo practice the command "Get the Door" at the Helping Paws training center. 
To increase the realism for her dog, they work while Sue is seated in wheelchair.

Volunteer foster homes are the heart and soul of Helping Paws.  These volunteers take these puppies into their homes and hearts for approximately two years.  These "foster parents" attend weekly training classes conducted by Helping Paws.  On their own, they practice the lessons they learned in class, oversee the dog's health, socialize the puppy/dog to everyday places and situations, and help teach special service dog skills.
