Today I am thinking of all the veterans I have had the privilege of meeting over my many years training Assistance Dogs for PTSD. I remember each and every one of you, and will always be grateful for your sacrifices.

Four beautiful entire, male street dogs. Communicating perfectly and getting along. Think before you rush to neuter your dog. It’s vital they remain unaltered for a couple of years.

The ADUK Conference was a wonderful learning and networking opportunity. Such a nice community all willing to share and help each other.

I’m so proud of BRAVEHOUND!

Academics at Edinburgh Napier University, Craiglockhart Campus have been evaluating the impact of our work and produced a report detailing their findings, as reported in The Scotsman.

Professor Gerri Matthews-Smith, the founder and Director of the Centre for Military Research, Education and Public Engagement, who led the study, presented the report at a special event at which some of the veterans we support spoke very powerfully of the difference having a BRAVEHOUND assistance dog makes in their lives.

Someone just left me a bad review (anonymously funnily enough) basically because I don’t like Cesar Milan. Please drop me a review to counteract this if you’ve worked with me. Thank you 🙏🏻
