Want your own assistance dog for everyday life?
If you don’t have a dog, we’ll choose the best dog for you from our Foundation’s dogs in training. Then together we’ll learn how they can live together and help each other.
If you have a dog of your own and would like to use it as an assistance dog, we will get to know each other and, if the dog is suitable, we will learn together how to make your relationship even closer and teach the dog the tasks of an assistance dog.
Training and certification of assistance dogs is only possible by completing personal training sessions.
To do this, please contact us: kutyavalegymosolyert@gmail.com
