AnswerWell there are dog trainers that just do that type of training,and the best way to find them is call just about every trainer you can find in the phone book,and ask if they do that type of trainer,or if they know of a trainer that does
Also your vet may know of a dog school that does that as well
Any breed of any size(as well as mixes)can be trained to do this,from dogs as tiny as a yorkshire terrier to a dog as large as a saint bernard can be trained-but some dogs are not suited to that type of work,because they are too skittish or a number of other reasons
So if your current dog fails,you will probably have to get a second one-which is common for people to have a pet dog,as well as a working dog
But first see if the dog you have can be trained
