About PTSD Service Dogs

Service Dogs for 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,   alert to the approach of someone from behind, guide their human to a  safe place, turn on lights in a dark room and interrupt nightmares, and  many  other important tasks. 

Bonding

 Bonding with your dog or puppy is extremely important.  That is why our courses allow you to take  your dog or puppy through the entire training process from start to  completion as a Certified Service Dog Team.  Graduate classes for  continued education and growth and follow up services are available.
