Therapy Dog and Person with a disability Communicate through iPad

You don't need to be able to speak to communicate with a service dog. Dogs will accept anything as a cue as long as it is consistent and the dog is rewarded for responding.What I like most about this video is near the end the young women chooses to pet the dog as well as give her a treat!

Do you know what kind of harness the therapy dog is wearing, it seems sort of odd, with a piece of fabric under the throat?

Dear Amber,
The dog in the video is wearing an ID Bandanna and an Easy Walk Harness which is front attachment no-pull harness.
Hope this helps.
