This Able Veteran produces reliable PTSD service dogs and an effective partnership-building training program. Veterans who graduate from our program leave us with a canine partner they can depend on to help them recognize early symptoms of nightmare, anxiety, anger or depression. The dogs are trained to intervene, to help their veteran partners refocus and to engage in soothing behavior.

We also help our veteran students rely on themselves. Our 3-week Trauma Resiliency Program helps our veteran students understand the mechanics of PTSD, and teaches life-skills and coping mechanisms. We want to empower our veterans suffering from PTSD to take back control of their lives. That’s what this training does.
