Empowering Children with Amazing Dogs

We’ve found the most effective and humane approach to successfully working with our dogs is to understand what they need and show them what we need. Working as a team, using body language and tone of voice, has proven effective in cultivating our dogs’ ability to think, giving them high self-confidence, lowering anxiety, and teaching them problem solving skills.

What does a service dog from Paws and Affection do?  While the dog opens doors in the literal sense, he also opens other doors.  A service dog from Paws and Affection provides a child with a new level of self confidence and pride.

The first step to applying for a Paws and Affection dog is to read the below criteria and eligibility requirements. If you (or your child) meet these requirements and are interested in applying for a Paws and Affection dog please call the phone number below to discuss the application process with us further.

Paws and Affection Community K9 programs bring education and knowledge about service dogs, disabilities, and general dog behavior to our community. Read below for more information about our two Community K9 programs.
