Emotional Support and Empowerment Dogs

Following the events of October 7th and the "Iron Swords" war, the number of PTSD victims in Israel has increased exponentially, both among army veterans who participated in battles, and among ordinary citizens who have suffered loss. At the Emotional Support Dogs Center we devote our time and energy to rehabilitating and assisting victims of the October 7th massacre and the "Iron Swords" war.

We use a unique method, whereby the patient takes part in the dog's training process from the very beginning (under the guidance of highly experienced, professional trainers). The inter-dependency between patient & dog contributes considerably to the rehabilitation process, as well as to the creation of a much-needed balance, while facilitating the return to a soothing routine.
