What is Dog AID?

Dog AID (Assistance In Disability) is a national voluntary organisation which provides specialised training for people with physical disabilities and their own pet dog.

The main difference between Dog AID and many other assistance groups is that the disabled owner learns how to train their own dog. Generally all the training is carried out by the owner with supervision from a specially trained instructor.

Dog AID training is designed to give a measure of independence and provide owners with the knowledge to train other tasks. This allows them to adapt the training to their own needs with an instructor, who is able to give advice as required.

Please browse through our site, disabled or not, to see how we can help you, or how you can assist us. For telephone numbers and e-mail address of Dog Aid please go to the 'Contact Us' page.

Our 2010 calendar is now available along with greetings cards - both feature great photos of clients' dogs. Other items also available

Our Web Shop

We now have a Web Shop. This is a collection of online retailers that give us a commision on most items purchased. We get on average 2 Pounds on every transaction. There are over 80 shops there including many high street names. The money comes from the shop so it does not cost you anything more than from their website - its just that we get a donation.

Information About Assistance Dog Jackets or Jackets for Dogs that are in Training

Jackets for dogs for the above purpose are only available from the organisations that train dogs for specific purposes and are only available if you and your dog are enrolled on the scheme run by that organisation. There are strict regulations about the training that a dog must have undergone before being allowed to go into public places where ordinary dogs are not allowed. Dogs under training must be accompanied by a trainer employed by the organisation.
Assistance Dogs and their owners have to pass a test to a very high standard, having first followed a training programme by the organisation in question.
