What type of things can they be trained to do in terms of service work?

I'm intrigued.

Bigger breed dogs can handle different types of medical needs, such as psychiatric disabilities and seizure response (due to their physical capabilities). A smaller dog is better equipped for different types of services, depending on the severity of the disease or ailment. A Yorkie could assist with mobility, diabetes (as they can be trained to tell from the owner's scent changes that their sugar is low/high, and alert him/her), and could also aid to owners with certain types of Autism. I'm very amazed and excited.
