Companion dogs bring joy and love to their owners' lives. We have lived with animals as companions for thousands of years and during that time our knowledge about the dogs we choose as pets has grown enormously. Recent research involving pet therapy indicates that not only do dogs give us love and companionship, but they also are beneficial to our physical and mental health. We at Paws for Ability are dedicated in training companion dogs to help their owners by providing service behaviors in the home.
