She sees it as a need. Give the dog treats without the trivial training. That's love. Leave treats on the ground and see how much milk she retrieves. Congrats on training a dog. Will love mine and let them do as wanted in their free will. Sleep with us? Yeah,they want to. Isn't based on rewards. Chase a ball? Yeah,the same.

I too was very impressed at how she functioned as a service dog. Clearly she has blossomed and flourished with the responsibility. Her life has meaning. Keep the child safe.

[@MLIrons]

I don't think it was training. I think it was the three of them figuring out the new dynamics of life with the new extensions and wanting to have a place that did it. Lucy was telling them she wasn't just their pet, but a family member and wanted a greater responsibilities. And on her pewent's side, and to their credit, they heard her and figured out how to get her involved and let her know she is still important to them and the pack.

Million $ question is how on earth they trained Lucy in such efficient way ? This is extraordinarily awesome.

[@kaiwinchester7111]

My service dog is a black lab. Labs are easy to train once you find their motivation. For mine (and many) it's food; for some it's toys. She was taught with a clicker. Everything else after that is really just chaining (teach one behavior, like "go to the fridge" - click, treat. Then teaching her to pull the rope is another thing, until she learns to go and pull. Then you add the behavior of taking something (anything!) and bridge it to the milk bottle... and build up until you have the whole chain behavior of going to the fridge, pulling, grabbing the bottle, returning to you... then going back and closing the door. It's possible, just takes time. Once you have the initial "click = treat" and some basic behaviors like come and touch, everything is a lot easier.

There is really something wonderful about a dog maturing and stepping up when the situation craves. Lucy is obviously above and beyond most dogs with the way she fetches things.
