Our dogs are proven at what they can do and are able to do their jobs no matter the circumstance. They are tested under every circumstance possible for the absolute best outcome. Any person with a disability can qualify for a service dog of any kind, including PTSD, by meeting the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. A doctors letter is required.
A dog needs to be able to pass the Public Access Test in order to qualify & be called a service dog. The PAT proves your dog is task trained for your disability. A PTSD dog provides support to people suffering primarily from panic attacks, anxiety, depression, & isolation. A PTSD dog jobs include a calming presence & help with daily presence . A mobility dog will help with daily tasks such as picking up a dropped object, bringing medication to their handler, or helping the handler maintain balance because some medications cause dizziness.

Each dog is trained for the individual's issues, so no service dog is "ready to walk out the door" until the correct match has been made between person and dog, and the dog can perform all tasks for their new owner.

A DOG IS AN ENHANCER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL BEING
(companion dog ; psychiatric dog)
A dog can clearly enhance the quality of life for humans. It can fill central psychological needs; for instance: dispelling loneliness & boredom, facilitating social contact, & providing opportunities to feel appreciated & understood. It also gives it's owner a positive self image, & an acceptance of self & increased confidence.
COMPANION DOGS
A DOG MEANS EXERCISE
Many doctors recommend getting a dog as a long-term therapy against the lack of exercise & the medical problems arising from this lack. The simplest form of exercise , walking, can counteract the process of physical deterioration. 95 out of 100 doctors agree to a higher life expectancy from walking. Anyone owning a dog has to walk regularly & half of all dog owners spend 10-20 hours a week walking their dog which keeps you much healthier.
Regular walks like this can also be used in rehabilitation situations. Erik Friedman, (an american university professor) studied patients who had suffered heart attacks & found that the rate of survival was 4 times greater for owners of a pet. She came to the conclusion not only that the increased physical activity provided by a dog has a life-prolonging effect, but also that a dogs companionship and need for care are of direct physiological benefit.
