Our Mission
To provide Service Dog training programs for eligible veterans, first responders, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, correctional officers, ER nurses and 911 dispatchers who have been diagnosed with PTSD or other occupational stress injuries.
About Us
Citadel Canine Society is a CRA registered charity that provides professional evaluation, training and certification of PTSD medical service dogs at no charge to eligible candidates. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of veterans and first responders whose service has exposed them to trauma and operational stress.
If you already have a dog, one of our experienced trainers can evaluate your dog's suitability for PTSD service dog training.
For those who don't have a dog, we may provide a carefully selected young dog, which you will train under the guidance of one of our trainers. This hands-on approach strengthens the bond between the handler and dog.
In certain circumstances, subject to availability and program requirements, we may provide a trained service dog to successful candidates.
