SUPPORT DOGS LTD

Support Dogs is a UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with epilepsy, physical disabilities and children with autism by training dogs to act as efficient and safe assistants. Our dogs are trained to assist and support their owners with their specific disability. Each dog is taught tasks tailored to his owner's needs, enabling the disabled person to lead a fuller and more independent life.

As Registered Assistance Dogs, all Support Dogs have full access into restricted areas and are able to accompany their owner at all times. The charity trains three types of Support Dog: Seizure Alert Dogs, Disability Assistance Dogs and Autism Assistance Dogs. We receive no government funding but we are committed to our policy of making no charge to the disabled person for our services. Support Dogs has trained more than 180 partnerships in total and currently supports 70 working partnerships across the UK. We are a founder member of Assistance Dogs UK and also a full voting member of Assistance Dogs International, the organisation which represents assistance dog training programmes around the world.
