Independent Assistance Dogs Teams

Service Description

If you are NOT currently with an organisation and would like to have a Public Access Test (PAT) completed, we ask that you do a minimum of 3 training sessions with us so we can assess your readiness for the PAT. We're dedicated to ensuring assistance dogs smoothly fit into their owners' lives. We focus on training the dogs and their owners to handle everyday situations well. An essential part is preparing the team to pass the Public Access Test, which checks if assistance dogs are suitable for public places. Book your first training session, and we will book the remainder, including your PAT, at the end of the session. Price includes 3 x 1-hour sessions, 1 x PAT and completion of paperwork. PAT Retest fee is applicable upon failure of first PAT. Please note if your dog is not ready for the PAT after 3 sessions, you can purchase more one hour sessions at the scheduled rate - and PAT can be taken once the team is ready. NO advocacy or support is provided with this option. **A vest can be purchased one you have successfully passed the PAT for an additional $85.**
