Assistance Dog Programs

Many individuals benefit from having an assistance dog, and there are many more who could benefit if given the opportunity.

However, we often see individuals struggling when attempting to self-train their assistance dogs, leading to many dogs being unable to complete their training after months or even years.

Additionally, some individuals have dogs that are performing well, but they face challenges in gaining access to certain places such as workplaces, schools, or universities, due to stringent requirements or restrictions.

The varying laws regarding Assistance Dogs in each state can also add to the confusion.

Our program is designed to address these challenges and provide comprehensive support to individuals in need.

Meet Addy, our dedicated Assistance Dog Consultant. Addy brings a wealth of experience to her role, having trained dogs for many years. She is currently being mentored by Steve and has completed extensive Masterclasses and ongoing studies.

Addy’s own assistance dog, Herzhund Light in the dark (Sirius), a Labrador from our breeding program, provides her with firsthand experience in selecting and training the right puppy for assistance work.

Addy can assist you in various areas, including but not limited to:

  • * Existing Assistance Dog Consultations
  • * Guidance on starting Assistance Dog Training
  • * Education on laws, regulations, and your rights regarding Assistance Dogs in public places
  • * Assistance with puppy selection and the first four weeks of training at home
  • * General lessons covering life skills, obedience, and task training for assistance dogs
  • * Problem-solving for challenges you may encounter with your assistance dog
  • * Helping business owners and organisations better understand Assistance Dogs in their environments.
  • * Liaise between Assistance Dog Owners and organisations to help parties work together.

Our goal is to provide you with the support and guidance you need to ensure a successful partnership with your assistance dog.

Addy provides Video and in-person consultations.

What they say...

We first reached out to K9 Pro,regarding an assistance dog for our daughter, after hearing such positive experiences and feed back from our neighbour. This was the best decision we made. They were very informative from the outset and ensured that both the puppy and our daughter’s needs were front of mind. Once we were allocated a suitable match for our daughter, we met Addy who has become a vital member of our puppy, Maisey’s, training. Addy has been so incredible and invested.Addy has always ensured that our daughter’s future needs have been a part of the training goals for Maisey. She has also gone over and above to ensure we have the relevant skill set and knowledge to put into practice what she has taught Maisey. Addy continues to think of creative ways to enable our daughter to also participate in the training. She has such a strong work ethic and passion for assistance dogs which is reflective in her work and the amazing results we have been seeing. We highly recommend Addy and the K9 pro team!!!
