These are just some of the conditions we can train dogs to help you with
The Problem is:
There are only a few trainers in W.A qualified to assist you with this type of training
There are only 5 of us who are Approved Government Assessors
This means that other trainers won't have access to public areas to support your training program
That's why I put this course together!!
Your journey with your dog should be as easy and accessible as possible.
Any dog can train as an Assistance Dog
As long as they are not dangerous and have the right temperament.
A word from the founder
As a child, I was extremely shy and fell far behind in school, often dismissed by teachers as a failure.
Today, I understand why — I have been diagnosed as Neurodiverse. This insight not only shapes who I am but also allows me to empathise deeply and offer meaningful support to people facing similar challenges.
What I am most proud of is my success in training hundreds of dogs, including Guide Dogs, Assistance Dogs, and Therapy Dogs.
With a wealth of knowledge and experience, I have become highly regarded in my field and that's why I can help you.
