Providing Assistance Dogs to Veterans suffering from PTSD

Integra Service Dogs Australia transforms and enriches the lives of Veterans and First Responders suffering from PTSD by providing highly trained Labrador assistance dogs.

Our dogs

Integra Assistance Dogs manage the symptoms of PTSD by:-

• being a constant reassuring presence,
• creating unconditional emotional connection and companionship,
• providing grounding and personal space buffering
• nudging for night terrors and onset of anxiety
• providing confidence to re-engage with family and community
• reduced rates of clinical admission or hospitalisation

Our Program

Our Program teaches our dogs to become emotionally tuned to their Veteran or First Responder and their unique triggers. Our dogs ground their handler from a hyper-aroused state and provide unconditional support through the trauma and stresses of everyday life.
