Support Dogs
Registered Charity No. 1088281, was formed in 1992 by Valerie
Strong. Valerie established her own dog training club, two of her
clients were disabled and this gave Valerie the idea to train the
clients dog to assist them with everyday tasks. Within just a few
months, the dogs were making a real difference to their owners lives
and so Support Dogs was born. The first dogs were trained in 1993.
In 1994 a physically
disabled lady who also had epilepsy contacted Support Dogs looking for a
companion dog. Valerie strongly advised her not to get an untrained dog she
felt that the animal might react negatively to a seizure.
