Veteran Service Dogs

VSDO has been a blessing to me. They make you feel comfortable and safe there. Very respectful of everyone’s varying issues. They chose a puppy for me to bond with. My pup is a year old now and very protective of me. I drive about 1 1/2 hrs one way for class each week but they are worth it. The only money I have had come out of my pocket is caring for my pup. They provided the pup they felt would work best for my needs, the training, support when needed and the feeling of family. Thanks to them giving me my pup I can navigate life better.

To be the handler/service dog owner has been a great honor and self-care action that I could not have completed if it wasn't for Veteran Service Dogs organization. I am more mobile because of the assistance from Layla.

Great organization with great people. They made me feel comfortable from the start and they knew how to calm me when I felt overwhelmed and frustrated in training sessions. The trainers are all very knowledgeable in dog training and different techniques that work for dogs (such as mine that is super stubborn and wanted to always be in charge). I have had to miss a couple training sessions and they are very understanding; they have not once ever made me feel like I should not have missed. I deeply appreciate the training that Tonka (my dog) and I are receiving.I highly recommend.

I love this place. The people that volunteer here are so kind and understanding. They work with the veterans to help train the service dogs, and they focus on making sure the veterans are comfortable and happy. I have been depressed for so long, I have avoided going places, since I started coming here I look forward to Fridays. Even with the drive 2 hours get there, I don't just train with my dog anymore but volunteer my own time to help other veterans and dogs. If you are an injured veteran, physically or mentally, please reach out? We have people coming in from outside of michigan to train. It's is worth it.

Veteran service dog is a blessing for veterans who suffers from ailments. They are great people who offer classes that are easy to follow. They break down every command to fit how each vet learns and understands. They are friendly and gets to know every person personally. I appreciate them and all they do,
