​Using guiding principles and best practices in
Animal-Assisted Interventions,
​Cindy works with your family dog, on and off leash,
to create purposeful exercises that naturally lower a person's physical response to stress that may outwardly present
as 
anxiety and/or depression, even pain.
​ 
Raising the body's levels of "happy" hormones improves self-esteem and self-awareness, allowing the body to strengthen social and emotional skills, but also to enhance physical wellness goals. 

It is also a great way to enrich your family dog's life
​through their sense of purpose and service!

Operation H.E.E.L. began as a mission to support our military children.  They chose to face extraordinary challenges both at home and at school with positivity and perseverance, knowing that their military family member serves or has served to secure our country's freedom.  

It is through the resilience of military children that our mission be shared with all children as they overcome their own challenges.
