Assistance Dog Training Programme
Based in Liskeard, Cornwall
WHAT IS AN ASSISTANCE DOG?
An assistance dog is a highly trained and skilled dog that is trained to mitigate an individuals disabilities. These incredible dogs are trained to perform a range of tasks to help their handlers navigate daily life with greater independence and confidence. These amazing dogs are not just assistance dogs, but also beloved companions who make a profound difference in the lives of their handlers.
You can join Lifeline K9s as a subscription for £100 per a month. (Prices are subject to increases)
This training is delivered with a mixture of in person training public places and through training videos. I train multiple dogs at the same location on the same day so you must be able to travel to where training is scheduled. At this current time Cornwall training is on a Thursday and Plymouth is on a Monday. There is always the opportunity to book one to one sessions at an extra fee.
You can also book 1 to 1's to work on anything you like, from mitigating tasks to public access training. These start at £40 for a one hour session.
WHAT IS A COMPANION DOG?
A companion dog is much the same as an assistance dog with the exception of being able to work in public places. Some people don't want an assistance dog to help them in public but need the help at home. Some dogs are not suitable for assistance dog work or have to be removed from public access training so they are trained to be companion dogs instead.
Companion dogs are trained to provide the same mitigating tasks for their handlers in their homes. They provide great comfort and support without the pressure of public access training.
The training for this is provided as a 1 to 1, please get in contact for costs as pricing varies depending on what tasks you would like to train.
