Therapetics is a Tulsa based non-profit that also serves the greater Oklahoma area. We focus on training Mobility and PTSD service dogs for individuals living with disabilities. We train in a variety of locations to provide our dogs with a wide range of experiences, so they may better serve our clients. Our Mobility Assistance Service Dogs are trained to perform tasks that help with everyday chores that are made difficult by limited mobility. Tasks would include opening doors, carrying a bag, picking up dropped objects or emptying the dryer.

Service Dogs 101

Report

Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service Dogs are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person's disability. Security and the crime deterrent effects of an animals presence and the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute recognized work or tasks of a service animal.Public Access granted to individuals training a Service Dog varies from state to state.
