Autism workshops

The bond formed between an autistic child and their pet dog can unlock opportunities for connection and well-being by reducing stress and improving social interactions. Join our autism workshops and we’ll give you the confidence and knowledge to build these strong, supportive relationship.

The workshops are designed for parents of autistic children aged 3 to 16 (including those currently awaiting diagnosis) and are suitable whether you have a dog, are getting a puppy or just exploring the idea.
