Therapeutic sessions designed to help individuals with PTSD, Autism, and Anxiety experience the life-changing bond between humans and trained service dogs.
Schedule a Session ›These are structured, supervised visits where individuals and families meet and interact with trained service dogs in a calm, supportive environment.
These sessions are specifically designed to help those who may benefit most from the healing presence of a trained service dog.
Veterans and others experiencing PTSD can find comfort, grounding, and connection through structured interactions with calm, trained dogs.
Children and adults on the autism spectrum often experience meaningful social and emotional breakthroughs through carefully guided dog interactions.

Frank worked with my dog and me when I was at my wit's end. Through his patient and knowledgeable guidance, my dog transformed into a well-behaved companion. I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise and dedication.
Frank is absolutely amazing! He is so caring and knowledgeable about animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding, training, or grooming. He truly cares about the animals and their well-being.
