Sherlock Hounds Assistance Dogs
A place for like minded individuals who have owner-trained assistance dogs
Our Programme
We are an organisation for like minded individuals who have owner-trained their dog to be an assistance dog as well as those who wish to start their journey. Our owner-trained dogs go through specialised training and experiences before being assessed by our public access exam. Sherlock Hounds provides a standardised method of training and animal welfare for owner-trained dogs and their handlers.
"For disabled people, an assistance dog can make the difference of being able to live a fulfilled life. Sadly for many ADUK trained assistance dogs are not available due to the overwhelming need versus availability. Many others do not qualify for an assistance dog due to where they live or because their disability is not covered. For many the only option left is to owner train an assistance dog. This can be very daunting and come with many struggles. Having experienced this myself, I decided to form Sherlock Hounds Assistance Dogs."
