Find out how specially trained assistance dogs supplied by national charity, Canine Partners, transform the lives of people with disabilities.
- A 7-week old pup is put into the care of a puppy parent, like myself, and at 12-14 months progresses to advanced training where he learns further skills tailored to the needs of the person with whom they will be eventually partnered.
- Learn how you or someone you know can become a puppy parent, what's involved, how to deal with giving them up and get answers to all those questions you were dying to ask whenever you see an assistance dog in its working jacket.
- If puppy parenting isn't quite for you there are numerous volunteering opportunities within this amazing charity.
- As a full time puppy parent I like to bring a pup to a talk but this very much depends at what level of training he is at.
About Katerina Roberts
In 2013 I became a volunteer puppy parent with Canine Partners, an assistance dog charity which supplies specially trained dogs to people with disabilities. Over the years I socialised puppies from 7 weeks through to 12-14 months, exposing them to a wide range of situations and experiences to help them develop into happy, confident and obedient dogs. I love working with Canine Partners and hope to recruit more puppy parents for these amazing dogs. My talk, which includes an illustrated Powerpoint presentation, will demonstrate what that entails, including the highs and lows of being a puppy parent and will cover other volunteering opportunities within the charity.
