Operation At Ease, Inc.

OAE is a life changer for my dog Dash. He has come such a long way since starting classes here. I lacked confidence in him and in myself at first but going to classes showed me that he was able to follow direction and we bonded even more closely. I'm signed up for our 4th class today and will continue to come here for classes. The trainers are well informed and very patient with the dogs and the owners! I can't say enough about how wonderful the program is!

Words truly cannot express the depth of my gratitude for Operation At Ease (OAE), its dedicated staff, and selfless volunteers. Their commitment has not only supported me but has empowered me in ways I never imagined possible. My service dog completed the OAE program in late 2024, and from that moment, my life began to change. For decades, certain aspects of life—experiences, environments, and even emotions—felt out of reach. My service dog has helped me rediscover parts of myself I thought were lost forever. She has opened doors that had long been shut, bringing light into places that were once shadowed by fear or isolation. Recently, I encountered a challenge when trying to bring her into a public space. The discomfort and uncertainty were overwhelming. But when I reached out to OAE, they immediately stepped in. A representative contacted the business directly, explaining service dog responsibilities and ADA guidelines. Thanks to their advocacy, we have been warmly welcomed ever since. This is just one example of how OAE doesn’t just train service dogs—they stand by their graduates for the long haul. They are unwavering advocates for their teams, ensuring we are treated with the dignity and respect we deserve. Because of Operation At Ease, I am no longer navigating this journey alone. I am supported, seen, and stronger than I’ve been in years.
