"Advances in technology and discoveries in brain science allows us to pinpoint individual thinking and behavior patterns. Using this information we can compare brain wave patterns to brain structure and train the brain to perform at its finest," says Dr. Fannin. "We use a four-step training process has the ability to identify individual weaknesses so people can train to improve them."
Aware of the positive impact that training the brain offers, Dr. Fannin recognizes the importance of brainwave assessments as a breakthrough technology.

Shyra has been with us since she was 8-weeks old. At that time she was part of the CCI program being raised for someone in a wheelchair. She was with us for about 18 months before going back to Oceanside, California for her advanced training. After a number of weeks there it was determined that she would not become a full-fledged assistance dog and released from the program. Statistically speaking, only 40-50% of the dogs that go back for advanced training make it as an assistance dog.If a dog is released from advanced training, as puppy raisers we had the option to adopt her or allow her to be placed with a family that would like to have a wonderful dog with great breeding and exceptional training. We decided to adopt Shyra... since she has been coming to work since she was 8-weeks old, this is the life that she knows and loves.
Shyra is a great comfort to those that come to our Center. Children and adults look forward to her warm greeting and caring ways. Shyra loves to be at work and is a great asset to our team.
When you come to visit... you may encounter either Shyra or Miller... we have a very liberal vacation policy where they are concerned... Shyra and Miller trade off coming to the office about every two weeks It is not practical to have them both in the office at the same time... therefore, they trade off about every two weeks.
