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.

Could you raise and train a future life-changer?

As a Puppy Training Volunteer, you’ll welcome a puppy into your home for just over a year, providing the love, care, training and socialisation they need to become a life-changing partner for a disabled person. It’s a rewarding role that requires time, patience and commitment, but you’ll be supported every step of the way with full training, ongoing guidance and puppy-related costs covered. Find out if we’re recruiting in your area and start making a difference.
