Training the therapy/service dogs consist of verbal commands, non-verbal commands, and at times the dog can just read body language. Safety is key for both dog and handler, things can go poorly if the wrong dog is matched with a veteran/owner, they must have a connection from the start for this to be successful. Veterans with PTSD will travel to a site and work with their therapy dog for up to two weeks on-site training.
