Life is very complicated, the more it is spent, the more complex it becomes. Worries and
stress increases as people move ahead in their life. Many veterans find it difficult to cope
with those lonely years that sometimes leads to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
People who have gone through a traumatic event in their past life generally suffer from this
anxiety disorder. So anyone who have been through a life threatening situation may develop
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Veterans generally have this condition in which they think
that their or other people’s life is in some kind of danger. These veterans lose hope of having
control over their life and need some serious morale booster.
PTSD Service Dogs are specially trained animals to help these veterans overcome their fear.
These furry buddies create a sense of security in these people and give them hope to live life
in a happy way. These PTSD dogs are taught how to comfort their old friends and how to
take care of them if some medical crisis arises. The PTSD dogs provide continuous assistance
and affection to these veterans. In their two years training, these dogs learn to perform basic
daily activities for people with disability like pressing elevator buttons or switching lights.
