Specialized Day Habilitation
An onsite program four days/week is provided on site so trainers/participants may teach the dogs the necessary skills in the specialized day habilitation program. Our goal is for each participant to attain his/her/their maximum functional level or to be supported in a way allowing him/her/them to gain an increased level of self-sufficiency. We believe dogs are a vital piece for these individuals to feel safer and less alone so they may better access the community.
