original_response: Before becoming an assistance dog they usually require obedience training as a prerequisite.
history: Labs are some of my favorite dogs, since they're so friendly! That's great! Labradors are among the most popular dog breeds in Canada, the UK, and the US! No wonder! They are such great family pets. They are also a popular breed for disability assistance in many countries. Do you have a Labrador? That makes sense too, they are really smart dogs! I do have a lab, but he needs some training.
knowledge: Obedience training is often a prerequisite for or component of other training.
