At this time of year, pumpkin patches and autumnal events are a popular day trip out for many of our handlers. 🎃

We couldn’t resist sharing this adorable photo of Assistance dog Stevie. This lovely cocker spaniel almost blends into the background with his adorable pumpkin hat and orange coloured Wild Spirit Canines Assistance dog vest.

Image description: Stevie, a Black and Tan cocker spaniel Assistance dog sits in front of a row of pumpkins in the first image. The second image is the same environment from the opposite (left hand side) angle except in this photo, Stevie is lay down wearing a small fabric pumpkin hat that looks like a small pumpkin balanced ontop of his head.

Sharing our favourite ‘dog friendship’ posts from the recent Cotswolds trip! The combinations of the same breeds in different shades and little and large makes for some lovely photos 🦏

Our community often nurtured friendships between handlers, but also friendships between dogs!

Thank you to and for welcoming our group of Assistance dogs. Both parks allow well behaved dogs on lead. These types of locations pose a vital training environment for partnerships wishing to access zoos, aquariums or other animal-based attractions in the future.

The assistance dogs attending were able to experience all the stimuli of animal enclosures, loud sounds, such as lions roaring, and socialisation to a wide range of large safari animals and birds.

Many of our partnerships enjoyed a recent trip to the Cotswolds for an animal filled weekend. There are many photos to share. However, these are our favourite ‘spot the difference photos’. We think the dogs and animals have some similarities 🦒

Image description:

A dark red golden retriever sits in-front of a giraffe enclosure with 3 tall giraffes stood behind him. There is a enrichment branch hanging in the grassy space with a barrier between the dog and animals. The next image shows a spaniel mix sat up in a meerkat pose generally known as ‘sit pretty’. Behind her is a meerkat showcasing the same stance. The last image shows a curly coated retriever sat next to a prop dinosaur. They both have large circular eyes and similar expressions.

Orange may be featured on the dogs uniform. However, we find the colour tends to leak into other areas…

Matching wheelchairs are certainly not required but they do result in a good look! 🦽

Image description: Two individuals using wheelchairs are sat facing each other. The wheelchairs are both black with bright orange wheel spoke covers. In between them is a black Labrador assistance dog looking up at her handler, she is wearing a bright orange off duty harness and collar.

Pizza delivered to this belly please? 🍕

Well done Tigger for showcasing beautiful skills resisting intense distractions during a recent assessment.

Assistance dog Reggie is a very well travelled pup 🌍 The partnership recently enjoyed many adventures together across Europe.

Our trainers received feedback that Reggie was a very ‘Gouda’ boy at the Gouda Cheese Experience attraction.

Image description: Reggie a black miniature poodle is stood next to a stack of Gouda cheese wheels that are bright yellow. The second image shows Reggie sat in front of a A shape organisation of barrels containing aged spirits, the floor is a black and white chequered pattern. The third image shows Reggie sat in front of a open lake. In the background are green rolling hills with heritage windmills scattered in the background. In all the images he is wearing his program vest and lead wrap with an orange lead and collar, one lead wrap is in Dutch, the other in French.

Do you know the importance of at-home decompression for assistance dogs? 🏡

Quality decompression at home is featured on our initial and annual public access tests. For most dogs, this is between 16-18 hours of quality rest per day. This criteria also includes all potential disruptive behaviours in a home such as destructive behaviour, territorial behaviour and more.

Assistance dogs benefit from a calm and happy decompression space. This isn’t just so they can happily task at home, but also to have well deserved breaks. A well rested and satisfied Assistance dog equals a content working dog!

In order for Assistance dogs to stay in non pet friendly housing, hotels and more. There are many standards contributing towards being undisruptive. This may include: not vocalising indoors, being toilet trained and not destroying or damaging any property in a non pet friendly living space.

Eighteen months flew by in a second. The sisters spent their last day together playing and frolicking in the grass. Soon to be off on their adventures as fully trained Assistance dogs!

Many of our handlers spend the end of Summer preparing to head back into education with their Assistance dog. Long settles in quiet places, distraction training and setting up time table routines are all on the cards for the first week of September.

Ralph certainly seems to be taking his job very seriously 💤

Image description: The first image shows a golden retriever (Ralph) lay on a red settle May with his head down, eyes closed asleep wearing his working program gear. The second image shows 5 dogs sat down lined up in front of a wall. The wall is decorated with a photo of a bookshelf with multicoloured books. The third photo shows a goldador demonstrating contact settle work with her head down on a trainers foot, she is looking at the camera with cute puppy eyes. Both dogs photographed settling are in a library with grey floors, green seats and colourful book shelves.

Pumpkin spotting with puppies! We love this time of year where the organisation gear matches the shelves in shops.

Did you know? - Wild Spirit Canines CIC gear is hand made for each individual dog and showcases the dog’s ID number on the middle panel. The bright orange colour with high viz strips makes the dogs more easily visible during the day and night.

Our vests do not just allow the general public to identify our dogs as assistance dogs. The vests display standard messages such as ‘please do not distract’ which alongside the bright colours, makes the the program uniform a key safety and communication tool.

Image description: Two golden retriever cross Labradors are lay side by side both wearing orange program vests and lead wraps. Between them are two fluffy pumpkin door stops with teddy bears on the top, one white and one brown bear. The dogs are smiling at the camera. In the background are more autumnal home decorations on shelves in a homewear shop.
