Humans of Canines helps families ‘start right’ with new their new puppy, and also with adolescent and adult dogs, by providing basic obedience training. The goal of the training progam is to help people communicate with their dog effectively, thereby building a strong relationship through mutual understanding and positive reinforcement.

Animal Assisted Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy is a therapeutic intervention that incorporates animals, such as dogs, into the treatment plan. It is used to enhance and complement the benefits of traditional therapy. Studies have found animal-assisted therapy sessions very effective in improving overall emotional well-being, especially in cases of autism, schizophrenia, depression, other medical conditions, or behavioral issues.
Humans of Canines works closely with psychologists and other mental health professionals in conducting individual animal assisted therapy sessions. As a part of this initiative, Humans of Canines also conducts tests to identify ‘therapy’ dogs.
