Event Short Description
Event Information
Canine partner assistance dogs are carefully matched to the applicants’ needs and lifestyle, no matter how challenging. They are trained to help with everyday tasks such as opening and closing doors, unloading the washing machine, picking up dropped items, pressing buttons and switches and fetching help in an emergency. They can even help people to get undressed and remove a card from an ATM!
Our canine partners undertake a specialist two-year training programme. Come and learn how they are trained.Admission Details
