Bio
Casey Pizzuto, MBA
Dan was a pleasure to work with and very professional. He always put the mission first and genuinely cares about the people he works with and the military community. His expert knowledge of training therapy and service dogs in impeccable. Dan is a wonderful candidate for any applicable position.
Eric Tausch, MSW
I had the pleasure of being mentored by Dan as part of my University of Denver graduate internship for animal-assisted social work while he led the Fort Belvoir team for Warrior Canine Connection. As a retired Marine officer, I most was immediately impressed by Dan’s leadership not only with his staff and clients, but also with the dogs being trained. He has the uncanny ability to apply the strong leadership required to propel clients to success beyond their own expectations, while instinctively applying the empathy and compassion needed at times when helping clients with Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress. A diplomat, Dan’s prowess collaborating with care providers, military leaders and families in challenging and stressful circumstances is something I only witnessed in the best military officers. Dan is one of the few people whom I would hire for ANY leadership position knowing that all of my employees would benefit from his presence.
