Our physical disability workshops enable you to discover the incredible benefits that come from the bond that is formed with a pet dog either for yourself or a family member. They explore how a pet dog can bring positive connections as well as ways to strengthen the relationship.
These family-focused workshops are designed for adults (aged 18 plus) with a physical disability and the parents or carers of a physically disabled child (aged 3 and over.) Whether you already have a pet dog, are welcoming a new puppy, or are considering getting a dog, our expert team will provide the knowledge, support, and confidence needed to help the whole family.
