Assistance dogs

Help with everyday tasks

On behalf of our client we maintain a relationship with the UK charity Dogs for the Disabled. This charity trains assistance dogs to help those who have suffered spinal injury achieve as great a level of independence as possible. Every dog is trained to help with simple everyday tasks such as opening doors, picking up the morning post, emptying the washing machine, even retrieving dropped items such as a TV remote, keys or a wallet.

The partnerships created

The strength of assistance dog ownership lies in the partnership created between the owner and dog. Full training is provided to assist the new owner with every aspect of the dog’s care, this includes everything from feeding and grooming, to the practical task work that the dogs provide. In addition, an assistance dog gives enormous psychological benefits, breaking down barriers and helping to improve confidence and stress levels.
