How many people find their lives completely and permanently disrupted and changed because of a disease, a stroke, or some disability that they never knew they had until, through a catastrophic occurrence, they find themselves disabled both physically and mentally. So many of these people who have lived fiercely independent and successful lives, now are crippled with a disability that leaves them confused and scared, disoriented , and in great need of understanding, comfort, and sensitive companionship.
The present field for Therapy dogs is completely inadequate for these people. The dogs are only minimally trained for basic commands, and rely on their natural calm dispositions to supply love and comfort during a hospital or convalescent home visit. There are no long termed goals which these dogs can fulfill for the recovering, convalescing, or permanently disabled person.
In contrast, our K9s are expertly trained to supply a therapeutic controlled, loving, sensitive companionship and also serve as a Psychiatric Assistant K9. Because they are trained and titled as an Assistance K9 they will be accepted and may accompany their handler wherever needed, and yet, because their main concern is to provide therapeutic and enriched companionship, they are less expensive than other Assistance K9s. It is the perfect solution for those in need of an understanding and trained companion, who can provide the emotional support that they suddenly find an absolute necessity in their lives. Many of these people may have never even owned a dog, however, now they need one, and they need help. This K9 is there for them.
