Lend a paw to support our life-changing work

Dog A.I.D. (Assistance in Disability) works with physically Disabled people to coach them to train their own pet dog, utilising the bond that already exists between the owner and their pet, to become an Assistance Dog partnership accredited by Assistance Dogs International (ADI).  

The Dog A.I.D. shop is open, as we are a small charity, 

orders will be processed once a week

 so may take longer than expected to reach you. 

Thank you for your patience.

 Every week there is £25,000 up for grabs for the lucky winners of our Lucky Paws Lottery Weekly Draw (run by Unity Lotteries on our behalf). And remember, win or lose, you’ll be making a real difference to those people who receive our life-changing training.

How it works

It costs just £1 per week to play – and you can join here:

Read about some of the people involved.   Training takes up to two years with both dog and owner receiving specialist education from our network of trainers and attain fully qualified Assistance Dog status through a number of stages.
By supporting us you are helping us to make a life-changing difference to the lives of people with life-limiting disabilities, so thank you  

We have over 90 approved volunteer trainers based throughout the UK and we always need more!

We recruit professional dog trainers who are able to show a history of practical experience backed by theory based knowledge.

All travelling expenses are paid and a mentoring system is available. We offer CPD opportunities through our subsidised workshops 2 – 4 times per year.
