As Part of our commitment to the American veteran and their families, USAVET.org has partnered with Bob Smith’s K9 Association on this collaborative nontraditional and

innovative approach to help assist veterans with suicide prevention as well as many diverse types of service-related injuries to include PTSD, TBI, Loss of Sight, limbs and

or other extremities.

Together our team have fostered an ambitious goal of training 100 Service Dogs for 100 Veterans. Additionally, we have begun developing a series of training videos that will be available online thru various outlets online for program participants after the program is complete. We believe that providing video resources online will help reinforce training as well as to encourage and facilitate other veterans or service dog training programs.

The 100 Service Dogs for 100 veterans training program consists of five staggered training  classes consisting of 20 teams of dogs and veterans. The program is designed to procure, train and deliver much-needed service dogs at no cost to the Veterans or their Families
