There’s a certain kind of healing that comes not in words, but in quiet moments—moments when a dog places his head gently in your lap just as the storm inside your chest starts to swell. For those of us living with PTSD, it can feel like the world is full of ambushes: a slammed door, a stranger’s glance, even our own memories can send us spiraling. But for me, that world changed the day I met Roan.
Roan isn’t just a dog—he’s my lifeline. He was trained with precision and purpose, but what he offers is far more than obedience. When my hands start to shake and my vision narrows, he doesn’t wait for a command. He leans into me with his full weight, grounding me with deep pressure therapy. That pressure is his way of saying, “You’re here. You’re safe. I’ve got you.” And sometimes, those simple truths are all I need to find my way back.
His training goes beyond calming panic attacks. Roan knows how to create space between me and a crowd when I’m feeling trapped and even how to wake me from nightmares. When I dissociate, he nudges me gently until I refocus. Every task he performs is a reminder that I am not alone in this fight.
What Roan gives me is not just safety, but dignity. He doesn’t pity me, and he doesn’t judge. He just works—every day, without fail—to walk with me through a world that often feels unpredictable. And in doing so, he brings me closer to peace.
Roans Training and Duties range from simple grounding techniques to interventions during times of distress:
Interrupting anxiety or panic attacks – Nudging, licking, or pawing to ground me during distress.
Providing deep pressure therapy – Lying across my lap or chest to reduce anxiety
Creating a buffer in crowds – Standing between the handler and others to provide space and a sense of safety.
Checking rooms or surroundings – Entering a room first or alerting the handler if someone approaches from behind.
Leading to exits – Guiding me to safety if they become disoriented or overwhelmed.
Waking from nightmares – Gently waking me from night terrors or flashbacks.

The ability to have my wolf companion accompany me on most of my adventures has created a bond between us that is stronger than any other physical bond I have experienced. My relationship with Roan is pure magic and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to experience this in my lifetime. He is not only my service dog, he is an essential life companion.
Life on a Bus… after a long boring winter stuck in Arizona unable to chase paragliders as Cyn Built our home I was very excited to finally hit the road with my partner in Crime, Pluto, this spring for some adventure. We drove north at the end of November into a snow storm and with in the first three hours of leaving Phoenix I was bounding through the snow drifts of Flagstaff.
Roan and I are visiting my parents in Ocean Ridge, Florida for the holiday season. I brought the paddle board out two days ago for some ankle biter swell and he seemed very interested. He paced on the shore and jumped around in the shore break as I surfed.
I attached Roan’s harness to mine, and with Kyles help, we slowly lowered down over the lip of the cliff. We backed down which meant that he was also lowering down bum first, it definitely made him nervous and tense but he never fought me or became unruly. As we got a bit lower and more vertical on the rope he rode more on may lap, like when we fly and he was much more relaxed.
Roan and Cyn bought a school bus with intensions to convert it into a skoolie (tiny home) over the winter. With all the different sports and activities we get up to, we needed slightly more storage and ‘garage’ space than most single females with a furry companion. Looking forward to having our actual home where ever we park it, waiting for us to return from our adventures!
Roan started paragliding in April of 2018 at Monterey Sky Sports in Monterey, California. His partner, Cyn, is a paragliding instructor with over 16 years of flying experience. Roan was introduced to paragliding slowly, very similarly to how humans are introduced to the sport. He came out and observed paragliders launching and flying around the dunes of Monterey for weeks before taking his first tandem flight.
