Our Mission Explore how cooperative and mutually beneficial relationships with dogs can provide invaluable assistance to disabled individuals. Our Practice Facilitates and encourages trusting relationships between dogs and humans based on understanding, communication, and appreciation. Our Focus Provide training and training support services in order to develop dogs’ abilities to sense their guardian’s mental, emotional, neurological and/or physical needs and respond in ways that assist their guardians in coping with and overcoming challenges that they experience. Our Methods All training and care provided for dogs is done with compassion, patience, and care. Dogs should never be forced, dominated, intimidated, emotionally harmed, physically harmed, or punished. Every effort is made to more fully comprehend the way that dogs perceive and experience the world so that we may employ the most effective methods of communication possible. We remain vigilantly cognoscente of dogs’ dependence on man and consider it our responsibility to provide for their physical, mental and emotional health. Great lengths are taken to ensure dogs are provided with the experiences and care required to ensure that they may live free from fear. In recognition of the fact that dogs are incapable of malice and relentlessly trusting of humans, they must always be treated with sensitivity, gratitude and reverence.
