ASSISTANCE DOGS AND THERAPY DOGS

​​

Labradoodles were originally bred to be assistance dogs for people who were allergic to dogs who shed hair.
There are significant differences between Assistance and Therapy Dogs. Please follow the chart below to see if a dog is right for you.
Please understand that a puppy is temperament tested at 7 weeks to determine its suitability. It comes home with you at 9 weeks and it is a puppy, not pre programmed, not with a chip inserted and NOT a Therapy or Assistance Dog.
It is your responsibility to work with a trainer to train the puppy in the first 12 months of its life to level 2 RSPCA, or equivalent, obedience. At 12 months it can be assessed for its suitability. Not all dogs will be. Are you prepared to have a pet for life? Once deemed suitable the dog then starts specialised training to begin its life as your Therapy or Assistance Dog
