The K9 Community Assistance Network (K9CAN) assists certified Service Dog training programs and facilitates the selection, raising, and training of Service Dogs to be utilized as Wheelchair Assistance Dogs and Social Therapy Dogs.
This is accomplished by utilizing volunteers, trained staff, and certified instructors to provide the appropriate training. This specialized type training lasts for approximately eighteen months.
K9CAN provides services to public or private organizations serving several specialized populations dealing with Autism, Downs Syndrome, and various physical impairments. Our trained companions and Social Therapy Dogs are utilized to provide social interaction, “pet therapy”, and specialized learning opportunities in unique situations. We also provide animal assisted physical therapy for physically challenged children.
K9CAN provides educational opportunities to schools, service clubs and organizations, and other appropriate audiences to highlight the value of Service Dogs. These activities provide an awareness of persons with disabilities and showcase the benefits of Service Dogs and Social Therapy Dogs.
