Applications Now Open: Autism Assistance Dog Foundation Programme

We’re delighted to announce that applications are now open for the Autism Assistance Dog Foundation Programme. This is a supportive, home-based route where families help raise an assistance dog, provided by Autism Dogs Charity, with guidance from our expert training and welfare team.

The programme is designed for families who want to build a bond with their dog from the beginning, supported at every step by experienced professionals.

To make the programme more accessible, it is now open to families living in:

• London
• Edinburgh and Glasgow
• The North of England, including Cheshire and Manchester

Monthly in-person training sessions will take place at our venues in:

• Cheshire
• Berkshire
• West Central Scotland (location to be confirmed)

Important: This programme is not open to families wishing to train a dog they already own. All puppies are sourced and matched by our team to give each partnership the best possible start.
