Service dog training program decreases anxiety in humans.
“perceived stress [F(1,48.48) = 14.65, p < 0.001], and anxiety [F(1,47.30) = 6.624, p = 0.013] decreased significantly from pre- to post-interventions”

Service dog training program decreases post-traumatic stress disorder in humans.
“PTSD symptom severity [F(1,48.04) = 19.22, p < 0.001], perceived stress [F(1,48.48) = 14.65, p < 0.001], and anxiety [F(1,47.30) = 6.624, p = 0.013] decreased significantly from pre- to post-interventions”

Service dog training program increases telomere length in humans.
“In the SDTP group, TL increased, indicating reduced cellular senescence (i.e., slower biological aging), whereas TL decreased in the CI group.”
