Our understanding that interacting with animals can benefit our health and wellbeing in many ways is rapidly growing.  Since their earliest beginnings, dogs and people have worked together and dogs’ innate desire to please, readiness to learn, and sociability make them excellent therapy partners who help people connect and bring comfort and pleasure in a wide range of settings.  These include: crisis response; retirement, assisted living, and skilled nursing facilities; hospitals, especially pediatrics, orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, psychiatric services, geriatrics; hospice; schools; prisons; safe houses, and residences for people living with mental and emotional illness.

Connecting Canines was created to provide a new level of training, support, and deployment of therapy teams, focusing on canine behavior and human training.  Unlike other programs, the goal of Connecting Canines is to train animal/handler teams, focusing on canine behavior and human dynamics via classes, shadowing, and mentoring.  Connecting Canines teams will carry Project Canine endorsement as well as liability insurance.
