Service Dogs
Service Dogs for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Service dogs can help in many ways.
They can be trained to provide a buffer zone between their human and others, recognize repetitive motions and respond, alert to the approach of someone from behind, guide their human to a safe place,interrupt nightmares and many other important tasks.
Classes are free for Veterans and First Responders. We offer classes for civilians with PTSD for $3,500. If you are interested, please click on APPLY and complete and submit your application. We will contact you to get you started on the admission process.
4 Paws 2 Freedom considers all applications regardless of race, sex or religion.
Dogs and humans have an amazing capacity to work in partnership with each other toward the well being of both.
