PTSD Dogs Australia announces move to new property in Cooroibah

PTSD Dogs Australia, a leading provider of GHAD certified assistance dogs for individuals suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), is excited to announce their move to a new, larger property in Cooroibah, Noosa Shire.

Founder Angie Weeks, winner of the Prime Minister’s National Veterans Employment Awards 2023 and PTSD Dogs Australia State Qld Finalist Telstra Best of Business Awards 2024, is thrilled to invite the community to celebrate this significant milestone.

To mark this occasion, PTSD Dogs Australia is hosting a Community Open Day on 30 November 10am – 3pm at 380 McKinnon Drive Cooroibah.

The event will provide an opportunity for the public to meet and greet some of the PTSD Assistance Dogs in training, as well as those already paired with their handlers.

The Open Day promises fun for the entire family, including both the furry and not-so-furry kids! Attendees will have the chance to learn some of the basics in training a dog, discover what drives their dog’s motivation, and learn how to teach their dog to disengage from distractions such as birds, other dogs, and people. In addition to the educational opportunities, the event will feature a performance by the Woombye Light Horse Brigade, a sausage sizzle, jumping castle and face painting for the kids. PTSD Dogs Australia invites everyone to join them in celebrating this exciting new chapter in their journey. The event promises to be a fun and educational day for all who attend.

PTSD Dogs Australia mission is to rescue shelter dogs train them to be assistance dogs that help improve the quality of life and independence for Veterans and 000 First Responders living with PTSD.
