# Bond-based option training
At Veterans With Dogs, we firmly believe that if we are to ask a dog to enhance the life of someone in need, it is essential for that dog to have a strong and confident presence in the world and to deserve nothing less than a truly joyful existence.
Instead of solely focusing on teaching our dogs to perform tasks on command, we strive to engage them in a collaborative learning process, giving them the ability to express consent and choice in every interaction. Through this approach, we foster a unique bond of trust.
We are dedicated to educating both people and dogs, enriching their lives through mutual growth and companionship.
