Our Psychiatric Assistance Dog Program is an owner-assisted training initiative designed to support individuals with mental health conditions by providing them with specially trained dogs.
Over a 12-month period, owners work closely with our experienced and qualified trainers to prepare their dogs to assist in managing various psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other emotional and psychological challenges.
This collaborative approach ensures that each dog is tailored to meet the specific needs of their handler, fostering a partnership that enhances both quality of life and emotional well-being.
During the program, dogs are trained to perform specific tasks that aid their handlers in managing their conditions. These tasks may include providing deep pressure therapy during anxiety attacks, interrupting harmful behaviours, and offering comfort during emotional distress.
The benefits of psychiatric assistance dogs extend beyond task performance. The presence of a supportive and non-judgmental companion can significantly reduce feelings of isolation and improve overall emotional health. The bond between handler and dog promotes a sense of security and stability, empowering individuals to engage more fully in their daily activities and social interactions. This companionship fosters increased independence and a higher quality of life for those living with mental health challenges.
The first step in this process is to book in a free meet and greet with our Director. Please email using the button below or call us on (02) 60245073

Our School Dogs Program is designed to integrate specially trained dogs into educational settings to support student well-being and enhance the learning environment. These dogs provide emotional support, help reduce anxiety, and promote positive social interactions among students. By having a school dog present, schools can create a more nurturing and inclusive atmosphere that benefits both students and staff.
The presence of a school dog can have a profound impact on students' mental and emotional health. Research has shown that interacting with dogs can lower stress levels, increase feelings of happiness, and improve overall emotional regulation.
In addition to emotional support, school dogs can also serve as valuable educational tools. They can assist in teaching responsibility, empathy, and social skills as students learn to care for and interact with the dog. The presence of a school dog can also encourage reluctant readers to practice their skills by reading aloud to a non-judgmental and supportive audience, boosting their confidence and literacy abilities.
Our program includes comprehensive training and support for the school staff involved in the program. We work closely with educators to ensure the successful integration of the school dog into the school community, providing ongoing guidance and resources to address any challenges that may arise. By fostering a positive and supportive environment, our School Dogs Program aims to enhance the overall educational experience and well-being of students.
