The Best Dogs for Helping People with Mobility

The Rottweiler might not seem like the best mobility service dog, but the more you learn about them, the more you'll see how great they are for the job.

They are very loving and loyal, and even though they have a history of being protective, it isn't a problem if they are socialized properly.

The St. Bernard is another big dog breed that can be a great mobility service dog.

Like many large dog breeds, they have a shorter life span that you'll need to think about, but they're a great choice if you need a bigger dog to help you get around.
