Rebuilding resilience through the power of the human-canine bond
The mission of Leash of Courage is to share the lived experience, research, science and resources connecting humans to their longest and truest companion- the dog.
Dogs are more than companions… they’re neurobiological allies. The human-canine bond triggers the release of oxytocin, reduces cortisol levels, and regulates the autonomic nervous system.
These are not small effects. They’re brain-changing and life-changing, especially for those navigating PTSD, grief, or complex trauma and are key elements in rebuilding resilience.
