For a self-determined (children's) life
An assistance dog can enrich your life – with trust, closeness and real support in everyday life.
Are you considering whether an assistance dog would suit you or your family? Then you’ve come to the right place.
We accompany children, young people and adults with disabilities on this special journey – with experience, sensitivity and respect for your individual needs.
The path to becoming an assistance dog
Every person is unique – just like every dog. That’s why we always adapt the process to your life situation.
Here you will find an initial overview of the typical steps:
2. getting to know each other personally
We get to know each other in an initial meeting - by telephone or on site.
3. decision for cooperation
If we are a good fit, we plan the next steps together.
4. build trust & loyalty
In supervised training sessions, you grow together as a team - at your own pace.
5th team test
A certified test procedure ensures that you are ready for everyday life as a human-dog team.
6. aftercare
We are also there for you after the exam - with training, advice and support.
7. pension of the dog
If the assistance dog retires, we will accompany you through this transition and are available for a new placement if required.
Training locations
We are currently working with experienced trainers in the regions:
- Greater Cologne/Bonn & Overath area
- Flensburg & surroundings
Do you live further away? No problem:
