YOUNG PEOPLE AND RAD

RAD Assistance Dogs currently have around 10 dogs going into a school setting with a young handler.  We work extensively with the young person, their family and the school to make sure that this is suitable for all involved.

We can help with:

• Creating bespoke risk assessments for the assistance dog and young person.
• Undertaking behavioural assessment on the assistance dog to make sure they are suitable for the school environment
• Visiting the school if required
• Giving and creating presentations to teachers and students
• Giving bespoke training to the assistance dogs and the young person on the school environment
• Creating a phased training programme to ease the dog into the school environment
• Looking and advising on timetables and suitability in a variety of different lessons

The welfare of the assistance dog is paramount to us.  Not every assistance dog would be suitable to come into the school environment. We can assess your dog's suitability.
