Therapy Dogs

We know that not all of our puppies will qualify as Stability or Task Assistance Dogs. 

Therefore we have developed a Therapy Dog training programme where our dogs are partnered with children and adults as specially trained companion dogs to boost confidence and provide companionship on a day-to-day basis.

Applicants must be sufficiently cognitive to be able to instruct a dog and be capable of ensuring their dogs needs are met on a daily basis.
