My Nonprofit Reviews

I don't remember exactly how I stumbled across Psychiatric Service Dog Partners, but I'm sure it while I was researching stuff about connecting the dots between a T.B.I, P.T.S.D., and training my own Service-dog, in 2014.
Suffice it to say P.S.D.P. was, and continues to be, a great resource on educating myself about what the American's with Disabilities Act has to say about Psychiatric Service-Dogs, the law both federal and in my home state, and just as important MY responsibilities as the leader of my Service-Dog team.
Veronica was also helpful pointing me towards some YouTube videos that were indispensable in helping me to train Tanka, and to dispel some unreasonable expectations I had, about exactly how a Service-Dog should do it's job.
In my mind Tanka would have to just about be able to balance on a beach-ball, while juggling my car-keys and cell-phone, AND be able to tell me when a cyclone was about to hit! (I know, I'm a bit nuts in my expectations!)
Tanka has become a very well trained, and useful tool in alleviating some of my P.T.S.D. symptoms while out in public, especially shopping.......or going to bok-kai festival, hiking, the fair, post office.......and he does his job void of a beach-ball!
That's it!
Thanks Veronica, and everyone over at P.S.D.P. for working on my behalf, to improve the standard of living for those of us suffering psychiatric-illness, and using a Service-Dog as a healing tool.
Hugs.....
