'Winston's Warriors' pairs, trains, and prepares Veterans to compete in a variety of athletic events alongside their K9 teammates. Competitiveness is engrained in our Veteran community, and many times, service members struggle to maintain their competitive drive upon separation from the military. This program assists Veterans in finding their ideal athletic teammate (rescue dogs in many cases), in addition to providing scholarshiped training programs for existing Veteran-owned companions. Program includes pairing Veterans with a companion, training, and all associated competitive fees (entry fees, etc) for the first full year of competition.
Veterans can choose to compete in any (or multiple) of the following K9 athletic events:
AGILITY

BARN HUNT
DOCK DIVING
