I think the best advice would be to utilize the PTSD standards that ADI has already worked on for eight years. Again, they don't deal with just dog training. They deal with all components that are involved in terms of these veterans with PTSD.
You know, we were talking about how a dog makes a difference in getting people out in the world, but if the dog is not the right kind of dog, it hurts the veteran. We have to be aware of that too. These standards cover all of that. They insist that you use a dog that invites the public in. If you have a dog that's snarling and has its hackles up, it will not invite the public in. One of the prime objectives for someone with PTSD is to interact with the public.
There are a lot of components to it. It's not just dog training. It's dog temperament. It's veteran readiness. Some veterans are not ready to have a dog at the point when they apply. They're just not. For example, they're addicted or just don't have enough get-up-and-go to be with a dog. You need to have the mental health component up there as well, so I would recommend that.
