Phase 3

Creation of specialist training areas for service users, puppy training arena, sensory enrichment areas, snooze pods and dog welfare room This phase will create the specialist training rooms for our service users affected by autism, epilepsy and a wide range of physical disabilities.

This includes:

Specialist epilepsy seizure rooms, where our service users can have seizures in safety and in privacy
Autism sensory rooms where our autistic service users can meet and train with the dogs in an environment where they feel comfortable, and more accessible training rooms that will enable clients with a wider range of disability to access our services more easily.
Indoor dog training areas where our dogs can learn many of the tasks that our clients find so vital on a day-to-day basis, plus other more tailored tasks that a client may have specifically requested to meet a need.
Safe free running environment for the dogs to play in, and therefore an all-weather and fully accessible large running area for our dogs to learn and play safely, enjoy easy breaks from training and also bond more quickly with their future clients.

These developments will not only give us access to large, more tailored-for-purpose training rooms, it will also double the number of client training rooms and enable our charity to help MORE people, MORE quickly and in a better way.
