Dog AID

I am a registered Dog AID instructor (Assistance in Disability).

Dog AID is a national registered charity that helps people with physical disabilities train their own dogs. The training consists of a three tiered system.

Level One - Companion Level is basic obedience and some useful task training. For some people this is all they require.

Level Two - Advanced Companion Level for dogs with all round sociability; this is where dogs aquire further skills and continue the training in the useful tasks that are of help to the owner.

Level Three - Assistance Dog Level is where owners and their dogs go out into public places and practise putting their skills into operation.

At the end of each level owners and their dogs are assessed and awarded a ceryificate issued from Headquarters to show their achievements.

All training with Dog AID is free, however we do ask for a donation to or equal to the cost of the trainers' travelling expenses and in some cases the hire of a venue. The agreement for this financial commitment is made prior to the commencement of training and payments are made to Headquarters so that it goes through the accounts as required by charity law.

If you are physically dosabled and would like an informal discussion about your dog's suitablity and the criteria for becoming a Dog AID client, please contact me using the contact form on this website or by telephone or e-mail as below.

If you don't have a dog but would like to train your own assistance dog, I may be able to help you find a dog or puppy to train under the Dog AID scheme. Please get in touch if this idea appeals to you.
