Mobility Assistance Dogs
Our MA dogs are specifically chosen and bred with size, strength, and temperament in mind. They come from lines with low encounters of physical vulnerability, such as Hip Dysplasia, and tend to be extra large breeds so that they can accommodate their handler's weight.
​
These dogs must demonstrate an incredible amount of patience and assist their handlers in daily functions of mobility.
Psychiatric Dogs
Our Psychiatric dogs are trained on a much more diverse basis, although each of our candidates receives general Service Dog training as well. Vita's primary line of work involves working with military veterans of any country that have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). As such, most of our graduates will be most heavily geared toward tasks involved with PTSD. We do also train for cases of compromising Anxiety and Depression, as these often fall under the umbrella of PTSD too.
