Our physical disability workshops enable you to discover the incredible benefits that can 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.

Upcoming workshops
Our family-focused workshops are available both in-person and online, so you can benefit from hands-on learning or join from wherever is most convenient to you.
In-person workshops
Our in-person workshops take place on-site at our training centre in Banbury.
Experience hands-on learning in a dedicated, distraction-free environment and get the opportunity to meet other attendees who are also exploring how to build a strong, supportive relationship between a pet dog and an adult or child with a physical disability.
