BRAVEHOUND
provide companion and assistance dogs to veterans and then provide support for both the dog and veteran over the dogs’ life. We know that a dog can provide companionship, promote taking exercise and a good routine, and we aim to match suitable veterans with companion dogs in order to support the transition into civilian life.
We are offering the opportunity to provide expert support in training a dog. One of the best ways to build a healthier relationship with a dog is to understand how dogs learn and use the principles of positive training to make learning as rewarding, successful and easy as possible.
“My dog saved my life. If it wasn’t for my BRAVEHOUND I don’t think I’d be here… simple as that.” A Veteran
The dog will not be trained for you; support will be given for you to train with a BRAVEHOUND dog. This support will be ongoing throughout the dogs life. As well as training and supporting the veterans from before they are partnered with a suitable dog, we will support the veterans with veterinary costs, feeding and equipment.
