Introducing Our New Foundation Programme

We’re excited to share the launch of our brand-new Foundation Programme for autism assistance dogs. This unique pathway allows families to welcome a puppy into their home and begin the journey together, with tailored training and family support from day one.

Please note: This programme is not for training dogs or puppies you already own. Autism Dogs Charity will carefully source and deliver a puppy, specially chosen for their temperament and suitability as an autism assistance dog. This gives families the best possible start towards building a strong, lasting partnership.

‍

Key benefits:

• Puppy delivered within 6 weeks of enrolment (though it may take longer depending on procurement times)
• Training and assessment at your own pace, from home
• 1 to 1 trainer support in your area
• Access to psychotherapy and behavioural support for the whole family
• A dedicated Programme Development Manager to guide you

‍

Costs
The client contribution is £14,990, paid in two instalments:

• £4,000 deposit to enrol
• £10,990 balance on delivery of the puppy

‍

📍 Spaces are limited and available only to families who can travel monthly to our venues in Cheshire or Surrey.
