About the Trainer

Helping Paws is a leading nonprofit organization that breeds, trains, and places assistance dogs with people who have physical disabilities and veterans and first responders with PTSD. Founded in 1988, they are accredited by Assistance Dogs International and meet the standards of the Charities Review Council. Their staff stays abreast of industry trends, unique opportunities, and community developments to ensure they best meet the needs of the people they serve and the dogs they respect and love.

Helping Paws dogs are at work in the community and more are training to join them. This means veterans can sleep through the night or drive children to school with less distress. It also means countless keys and phones retrieved, gloves removed, doors opened, and lights turned on for those who cannot accomplish such tasks alone. Their work results in changed lives.
