Misson and activities:
Dog AID (Assistance in Disability) is a nationwide U.K. charity helping
people with physical disabilities to train their OWN pet dogs to be generally obedient, and in many cases, to train their pets to work as Assistance
(Service) Dogs.
The dogs are taught many specialised tasks to assist the disabled owner
gain greater independence in their everyday life, and their trained pet can
also become an advantage in breaking down social barriers; our clients
have found that being accompanied by their dog encourages strangers to approach and talk to them on an equal footing, whereas previously they would have been ignored purely on the basis of being disabled.
