Pet Expert Reveals the Effect of Dogs on Troubled Teens

Brandon Forder, the vice president of the family-operated Canadian Pet Connection, widely known as The Pet Expert explains the impact dogs have on troubled teens.

Since the growing popularity of emotional support therapy dogs in the United States, their impact is clear on the society including those with PTSD, victims of child abuse, and the elderly.

According to Forder, the unique demographics of teenagers are known to suffer from loneliness, angst, and depression, among other negative feelings.

On the contrary, studies show that pet ownership during childhood and adolescence can lead to cognitive, educational, and social development. Forder further explains that dogs provide judgment-free affection and awkward-free intimacy.

Meanwhile, teens with violent or aggressive tendencies are advised against keeping an animal at home.
