Hounds 4 Healing is a not for profit organisation founded by Australian Defence Force veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
We share a common theme at H4H, that being the one that our dogs are our freedom. They give us the necessary support to brave the world again.
By creating a solid and reliable bond between dog and handler, we can start to gain some independence and a routine again.
As an organisation we are excited by the positive results we have achieved in our short time of operation.
We work with a diverse range of dogs as not one specific breed fits the mould for the perfect dog to train. These dogs are at various stages of their training, with a number of dogs already assessed for their Public Access Test (PAT) and successfully certified as assistance dogs, while other dogs and handlers are still working towards this goal.
With guidance of our dedicated training team and the hard work of the handlers, a valuable bond is created and developed with their dog through training and reward.
