We are Canine Partners.

We breed, train, and support expert assistance dogs to create loving, life-changing partnerships with disabled people.

Across the UK, we support people with a variety of physical disabilities and their families, carefully matching them with a dog that suits their needs, personality, and lifestyle.

Our dogs bring confidence and independence, love and companionship, reducing reliance on carers and giving people the freedom to live life their own way.

The Power of Partnerships: Where it begins

It takes around two years to create partnership. Towards the end of this incredible journey, we hold a Partnership Course dedicated to training and learning; and building the life-changing bond between partners and their dog.

This year, we’re hoping to run 11 Partnership Courses at our National Training Centre. Each course costs £5,000, meaning we need to raise £55,000 this Spring to make them happen.

With your help, we can create partnerships that bring confidence and independence, love and companionship, reduce reliance on carers, and give people the freedom to live life their own way.
