  What We Do  
       
 

Support Dogs is a UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with epilepsy and people with disabilities by training dogs to act as efficient and safe assistants.

Our dogs are trained to assist and support their owners with their specific disability. Each dog is taught tasks tailored to his owner's needs, enabling the disabled person to lead a fuller and more independent life.

 
       
 


 

  As registered Assistance Dogs, all Support Dogs have full access into restricted areas and are able to accompany their owner at all times.

The charity
trains two main types of Support Dog: Seizure Alert® and Disability Assistance. Both programmes run nationally with the main training during each taking place in our National Training Centre in Sheffield.

Each dog costs in the region of £10,000 to train and support for life and w
e are committed to our policy of making no charge to the disabled person for the dogs training.

Support Dogs have trained more than 150 partnerships in total and, subject to funding, aims to train a further 24 dogs each year.
