0:01:20 > 0:01:25- Hello.- Hello, you must be Ethan and Elsa?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Hello, Fern.- Hi.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Nice to meet you, and you must be Mum, hi!- Hello.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- And who is this huge carpet?- Whiskey.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Whiskey? Is he your dog?- Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40This is one smart doggy.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Whiskey is an assistance dog, he's very special,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and he's been trained to help Ethan.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Whiskey has a special trick with socks, doesn't he?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Yeah.- What is it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Takes your socks off?- Yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Whiskey takes socks off?- Yeah.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Can you show us, Ethan? - Yeah.- Go on, then.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Whiskey, up!
0:02:02 > 0:02:08Oh, good boy. Pull, whiskey. Good boy!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Ah! Tickles!- He just looks like he's nibbling your toes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Wow! Come on!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Oh! Yay! Great job.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Assistance dogs, like Whiskey, can be trained to do lots of
0:02:21 > 0:02:24useful things and respond to commands to help people.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- He's really, really clever, isn't he? - Yeah.- So, how old is Whiskey?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Four.- Four? That's quite young, isn't it?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And can you tell me what type of dog he is?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Erm, a Golden Retriever.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Oh, they're very clever, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45So, aside from taking off socks, which he's very good at,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- what other tricks can Whiskey do? Can he give paws?- Yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Will you show me?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Oh, here he comes. Big stretch. - Whiskey, up!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Lie down, lie down, lie down, lie down.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Oh, good job, Whiskey!
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Whiskey, paw. Paw. Whiskey, paw.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Whiskey! Yeah, well done.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Paw, Whiskey. Whiskey, paw.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Ethan, what is your favourite thing to do with Whiskey?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Cuddle!- He's very good for cuddles.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Like a big teddy bear!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Is he nice and soft?- Yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28It's great because Ethan always has a friend wherever he goes.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So, if Ethan ever needs some time out, or just a cuddle,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Whiskey is there.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Aw.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Out the way!- Go on, Elsa, give him a cuddle.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42He's such a good dog. ETHAN EXCLAIMS
0:03:42 > 0:03:44He is perfect for cuddles.
0:03:44 > 0:03:50Rory, can you tell us some more facts about assistance dogs, like Whiskey?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Of course, Ferne!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Assistance dogs are trained to do special things
0:03:57 > 0:03:59like opening and closing doors,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02collecting the phone if it rings,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06and helping their owner to use the stairs.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13The most popular breed of assistance dogs are Labrador Retrievers,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20There are lots of different types of assistance dogs.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Some help guide people who have difficulty seeing or hearing,
0:04:24 > 0:04:29and others help their owners if they're not feeling very well.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36It can take a long time to fully train an assistance dog.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40And most are trained from when they're very young puppies. Aw!
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Whiskey does a lot of useful things to help look after Ethan,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58but he's also a pet, so he needs looking after, too.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- What do we have to do to look after Whiskey?- Take him for walks!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Yeah, we do!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Does he like his walks, Ethan? - Yeah.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Well, I hear that Whiskey needs to wear something special before he goes
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- on a walk. What is it?- His harness, his jacket and his leads. OK.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Shall we start putting them on?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Whiskey wears this jacket when he's out helping Ethan
0:05:27 > 0:05:29so that other people know that he's working.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33And it helps him to know he's working, too.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So, we've got an extra lead here, what's this one for?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Ethan catching on, so he doesn't run off.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43OK, shall we go for a walk?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Yeah.- Yeah!- OK.
0:05:51 > 0:05:57Whiskey is a lot calmer and less playful when he's got his jacket on.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Ethan is attached to Whiskey to help make sure that he's safe
0:06:00 > 0:06:03when he comes close to roads.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Sit.- Sit.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Good.- Good boy. - Right, are you checking the road?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Go!- Come on, Whiskey.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Come on, Whiskey.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But because they're such good friends,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Ethan likes to also take care of Whiskey,
0:06:19 > 0:06:24so he makes sure that Whiskey's safe when he's close to roads, too.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Now that it's playtime we can take Whiskey's jacket off
0:06:28 > 0:06:30and let him have a run around.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Will Whiskey run after this? - Yeah!- Whiskey!
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Whiskey, go!- Yay!- Wow! Come on!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Whiskey!
0:06:41 > 0:06:45THEY LAUGH
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Come on!
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- Whoa!- Whiskey!
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Good boy!
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Catch!
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Yeah!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Whiskey must be thirsty after all that running around.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Going to stand there?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Dogs always need a drink after a nice walk.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- You OK?- Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Whoa, good job.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38That's perfect. What goes in here?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Food! I'll do the food. - Food.- Is that his food?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- A cup.- I'll do the cups.- OK.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Yummy food.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Is that enough, Ethan?- Yeah.- Yeah, done?- Yeah.- Let's go feed him.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Whoa!- Sit, sit, sit. - Whiskey's hungry.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- He's hungry.- Go on, good boy.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12What noise does he make?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15THEY MAKE EATING SOUNDS
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Water.- Yeah, he needs to drink his water, too.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- Whiskey's hungry.- He is.- Loves it. - He loves his food, doesn't he?- Yeah.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's almost all gone!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- No! - FERNE GASPS
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Is it finished?- Yeah.- Wow!- The water.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39FERNE MAKES DRINKING NOISES Good boy.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Whiskey is such a clever dog, isn't he?
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- He can even empty the washing machine.- Can he?
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Yeah.- He's so clever. Where is he? Whiskey! We've got a job for you!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Come on! All right, Ethan, what do we do?
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Here. This. This. This. This.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Wow.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Whiskey, fetch.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16- Fetch!- There's more.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Whiskey, fetch.- You've got work to do, mister.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Can he come live in my house?
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- No!- No!- No? He can't do my washing?- Close.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Good boy!
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Whiskey is really good at helping other people, isn't he?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39But what if he could do something for himself?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41What do you think he would do?
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Erm...
0:09:45 > 0:09:51If our pet could do anything, he would have an allotment
0:09:51 > 0:09:55and he would grow lots of vegetables.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59He would grow dog biscuit plants,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01and ball trees,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and baked bean plants for Ethan.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10And he would win a big golden bone at the country show.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Ethan is starting a new school this year, which is really exciting,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21but he is also a little bit worried.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25So, we've come to have a look around, with Whiskey, of course,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28to check it out and settle him in.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Shall we go have a look inside?- Yeah!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Let's go.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Hi!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Hi, Ferne.- Hi!
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Yeah, this is a soft play area,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45so, we're here with Isobel and Marcus,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47they're going to be in Ethan's class
0:10:47 > 0:10:50and Sue is going to be Ethan's teacher.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- I think Whiskey likes this room.- Hello, Whiskey!- Yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The soft playroom is a fantastic space
0:10:57 > 0:11:01for Ethan and his new classmates to play and explore.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08But there's no time for sleeping, Whiskey!
0:11:08 > 0:11:12This way. Come on, Whiskey.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15'It's time to go and see the sensory room.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21'It's a magical space where Ethan can rest and play,

0:11:44 > 0:11:48I think Whiskey likes this, he's sniffing everything.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03unless the owner says it's OK first.
