Who We Are 

Battle Buddies of Central Oregon is a 501 (C) 3 non-profit organization, formed in August of 2013. We are an all-volunteer staff of patriotic citizens dedicated to preventing veteran and first responder suicide.

Our mission is to prevent veteran and first responder suicide through canine companionship and training.

Our goal is to provide professional canine obedience training in preparation for the canine good citizen test.  

What We Do

We offer K9 basic obedience training at no cost to veterans and first responders. We use training as therapy and partner with a network of trainers to offer various types of training from basic and advanced obedience to task  and public access. We use a combination of group sessions and private lessons to achieve best possible outcome for our participants.
