Privately Owned Dogs

Perfect Partners recognises the fact that some owners have a companion dog that they would like to train to work as a Disability Assist Dog.

The Perfect Partners Assistance Dogs Trust will train privately owned dogs, so long as the training of such dogs will not interfere with work of the Perfect Partners Assistance Dogs Trust as stated in our Trust Deed.

Any person wishing to have their privately owned dog assessed must meet the criteria of the Perfect Partners Assistance Dogs Trust, and have a medically diagnosed need for a Disability Assist Dog.

Representatives from the Perfect Partners Assistance Dogs Trust will visit the home of the applicant. On this visit, the representatives will:

  1. · Handle the dog to test suitability, and complete an assessment form
  2. · Discuss the situations the dog will be working in
  3. · Discuss training needs and suitability of the dog


The dog will be accepted into the programme, and an individual training plan will be developed only once:

  1. · The dog has been found to have a suitable temperament with no behavioural problems that would prevent it working as a Disability Assist Dog
  2. · There is support from the clients veterinarian and doctor
  3. · The need for a Disability Assist Dog has been confirmed
