Learning to Operate a Door
Here’s Chester’s early work on tugging a strap to pull a door open or closed. He’s so enthusiastic!
Here’s Chester working with the actual door that has caused his partner so much trouble. It’s a big, heavy door, and because of the power chair and the skinny porch, he has to approach from a particular angle to succeed. We first taught the individual behaviors in the training room, then we put them all together, then we transferred them to the actual setting so he could help his partner. You can tell this is our first success at getting the job done – we’re so happy to have accomplished this very specific task!
