Canine Assistants

Canine Assistants is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and providing service dogs for children and adults with physical disabilities or other special needs. Founded in 1991 and based in Milton, Georgia, the organization specializes in training dogs for seizure response, mobility assistance, and diabetic alert services. They utilize a unique "Bond-Based Choice Teaching" method, focusing on the relationship between the dog and the recipient rather than traditional command-based training. The organization provides these dogs and their lifetime care, including food and veterinary services, at no cost to the recipients. Their work is supported by significant corporate sponsorships and private donations, allowing them to place hundreds of dogs with people in need. Canine Assistants also provides facility dogs for hospitals and schools to assist in therapeutic and educational settings.
