As part of the 'Reboot 2.0' program, veterans undergo a 21-day cycle to restore skills, spatial orientation, and overcome psychological barriers.
One of the key adaptation methods is canine therapy – therapy through dogs. Canine therapist Larysa Grybanova explains that touching a dog immediately changes the emotional state: a person calms down, a feeling of safety, trust, and stability emerges.
Veterans also get acquainted with the guide dog training system. Training initially takes place in the center and later in a regular environment. This allows the person to gradually gain confidence in movement, and the dog adapts to the owner's pace of life.
Specialists confirm that such activities contribute to psychological recovery, reduce anxiety levels, and help veterans adapt to society. Four-legged assistants return a sense of confidence and support to a person, guiding them on the path to a new life.
