They give veterans confidence and helping to rebuild broken relationships as well as establishing new friendships.Our expert dog trainers provide bespoke support for our BRAVEHOUND dogs and their veterans. Our training methods adhere to principles of positive training to make learning as rewarding and successful as possible, for both humans and dogs.

BRAVEHOUND aims to support a smooth transition into civilian life, bringing communities together and helping ex-service personnel and their families adjust to living with the visible and invisible wounds of war. BRAVEHOUND is committed to partnership working, with a long standing relationship with New York based Theatre of War Productions working with leading film and theatre actors to present dramatic readings of classical Greek tragedies followed by town hall-style discussions designed to confront issues faced by the veteran community by drawing out raw and personal reactions to themes highlighted in the plays. We aim to raise understanding and compassion for those who carry the invisible wounds of war and conflict.
