We train our dogs to accompany and support their handlers in all aspects of their lives and have successfully placed dogs with individuals that attend school, college or work on a full or part time basis.

Ewan and 'Chloe'

Ewan's autism can sometimes cause him to be anxious, especially in public places. Chloe has even helped Ewan be much calmer when out in the community and gives him focus. Chloe is also his best friend, and he will often talk to her.

M & 'Lego'

There are so many more smiles and much more laughter in our home since 'Lego' joined us. Our son is more relaxed in many situations and willing to try things because 'Lego' is by his side. The bond between them grows by the day and even though it is early days, M's confidence and self-esteem is gradually growing too.
