Captain's Story

My name is Andrew Laney.  I am a disabled United States Marine Corps veteran with both PTSD and very limiting mobility issues; and this is Captain's story.

​

"Captain brought me back to life in so many ways.  The will to live, move forward, and thrive was restored, all because of Captain."

Canine Spotlight

Andrew and Carolee have been training greyhound service dogs for veterans for several years with another company. Many of the pictures are from that time.  Currently, we are training both greyhounds and other breeds as service dogs.

“Thank you for giving me my Daddy back!”

Ta-Cha A. & Moose

"Moose has given me back my life - and I could not be more grateful.  Carolee and Andrew have made a difference that although I try - I am unable to express in any meaningful way.  My expression of gratitude will be to live, to succeed.  Thank you, both, from the bottom of my heart.  Moose and I love you guys."

Jason P. & Hawk

“I can’t believe just how lucky I am that Hawk picked me. There isn’t a scenario where this could have turned out any better. I’m pretty skeptical by nature and am unsure if I believe in miracles – but at this point – I’m not sure what else to call the bond that my best friend, Hawk, and I are forming.”

Jason W. & Stryker

“These dogs do change our lives in amazing ways.  Stryker has saved not only my life, but he has saved my marriage, my friendships, and my relationship with my son.  I can never thank Andrew, Carolee, and everyone else enough.”

Jeff & Tricky

“As a Marine Veteran, I battled depression, loneliness, anxiety and suffered from PTSD alone.  I have been extremely blessed to have my Service Dog Trickeration. I met and trained with him early in 2020. He is extremely intelligent and incredibly loyal. He has helped me tremendously with my PTSD, and assisted me with mobility issues when I had surgery on my foot. I  am very thankful for all of the people who have put so much time into training and caring for him.”
