Guide dogs for the blind
Guide dogs, a type of assistance dog, are trained to help people in life with vision disabilities. Also known as seeing-eye dogs, they are specifically trained to lead blind and visually impaired people, helping them navigate situations or obstacles they normally would not be able to.

Service dogs for PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the brain’s response to a very traumatic experience. Specially trained PTSD Service Dogs can help people cope with this disabling condition. IDF veterans suffering from PTSD require a calm companion with the right temperament.
