Warrior Canine Connection(TM)

ADW's Warrior Canine Connection(TM) program teaches Wounded Warriors and military Veterans how to train our service dogs for other Veterans and people with disabilities or victims of trauma. This program is specifically designed to reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and isolating behaviors in the Veterans who train the dogs. We offer Warrior Canine Connection in three locations every week: Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos. Veterans may be justice-involved, participating in Veterans Court, or may be looking for a social and therapeutic opportunity to continue their legacy of service to others by helping to train service dogs, in a team environment with other Veterans.
