The Institute is continually
gathering and analyzing data relating to the dogs and their
human counterpart. Data collection and analysis is often part
of a student’s coursework as the Institute, its faculty
and staff continue to seek better, more in-depth and up-to-date
information relating to its mission of “Helping Dogs
Help People.”
In addition, the Institute works to track its graduates and
their accomplishments to provide accurate information for
incoming students about professional and career possibilities.
