Our Services

For those who have psychiatric disorders, obediently trained service dogs help complete common tasks, and are often taught to work in environments that present many distractions to their holder. Like many other types of service dogs, there is no standard set of skills taught because the disabilities’ symptoms vary from person to person. Due to this, these dogs are trained to cater to specific needs.

Tasks include, but are not limited to: finding a specific person or place to help their handler get back to a functioning state, guiding a person back to a certain location when they’ve wondered off, search an area to ensure safety, redirect a person with OCD who is engaging in a compulsion, alert a sedated person of emergency or other important sounds, identify if their handler is hallucinating, and bringing medication in an event where a handler would not be able to get it on their own.

Dogs have been considered man’s best friend for centuries, but can offer so much more as service dogs. These animals can be the difference between unsafe and safe, insecurity and confidence, and ultimately, dependence and independence for those with disabilities. With the many different types of service dogs and the various things they can learn to do, we work directly with the owner to ensure the best possible training for their pet is implemented.
