Training Assistance Dogs for people with disabilities
Assisting people with disabilities to enjoy greater independence and a better quality of life, by providing specially trained assistance dogs.
Working in partnership with Help for Heroes!
We are delighted to announce that Canine Partners is now working closely with the Forces charity Help for Heroes in order to train dogs for service personnel injured on active duty in Afghanistan or any other conflict zone. So far Help for Heroes has fully funded three partnerships, and pledged to continue funding the training and placement of our dogs with members of the Armed Forces. With regular visits to Headley Court (the defence medical rehabilitation centre) and Help For Heroes' new centre Tedworth House, we are able to reach those servicemen and women who need our help the most.
