“Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling an emptiness we didn’t ever know we had.” ~Thom Jones
Mission
Peaceful Paws Service Dogs is dedicated to providing well trained Psychiatric and Mobility Service Dogs and Therapy Dogs to Veterans and civilians throughout the American Northwest, and to promote healing through the unspoken bond only dogs can provide.
Who We Are
Peaceful Paws Service Dogs is a small business that focuses on training service dogs from puppy to adult for a handler and their specific needs. Every person has different needs for their disability and Peaceful Paws' customized training allows us to identify those needs and provide service dogs to work most effectively with their partner.
Our Beginning
As a graduate from Bergin University, Christina Southern had a dream of providing PTSD and mobility service dogs for veterans and civilians after witnessing and living through the hardships that it brings. Her journey began several years prior to her time at Bergin with her family dog who proved invaluable in battling her PTSD, recovering from physical trauma and helping her move on with her life and heal. Now she is doing her part to impart that healing relationship of man and his best friend to others who have been inflicted with psychiatric and mobility disabilities.
