We train and place fully trained service dogs with approved recipients who are disabled. Both children and adults. As an Association of Assistance Dogs Southern Africa accredited organization, our training practices are held to a high standard. Our dogs go through several training training courses before they are ready to service someone with a disability and help regain their independence. It is

with this dedication to our recipients and their dogs that we are able to change lives, one dog at a time. We Have Training Facilities around South Africa:

Its International Service Dog Week

Advanced Public Access Test (APAT) criteria: Part 1

Emergency Preparedness: The handler must have a first aid kit for their dog, which should be readily available in case of an emergency. They must also have the emergency vet’s contact information saved on their phone.
Both the first aid kit and the phone should be clearly labeled. Additionally, the handler should carry a portable first aid kit and a backup phone charger.

Mealtime Behavior: The dog must demonstrate the ability to remain calm and undisturbed while the handler eats a meal for one hour. The dog should also be knowledgeable about at least five foods that are toxic to dogs.

Visitor Interaction: The handler must show that their dog can behave appropriately and ignore visitors during an emergency. This includes being trained to stay within a boundary near the front door for safety for five minutes.
The dog should respect this boundary even when people are entering and exiting the house with the front door open. Partnerships are to demonstrate with a secured line if any hazards are present.

Mandela Day 2024

Before spending 27 years as a political prisoner, former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, lived with his family with a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Gompo, in a small house on Vilakazi Street in Soweto, Johannesburg.

He was famous for saying: “If we do not do something to prevent it, Africa's animals, and the places in which they live, will be lost to our world, and her children, forever.

Before it is too late, we need your help to lay the foundation that will preserve this precious legacy long after we are gone.”
This year on Mandela Day, why don't you extend your enthusiasm to ssd and give back to man’s best friend in all sorts of ways by showing the same sort of compassion as Nelson Mandela did to animal welfare. Let us honour his contribution and his love for his dog, Gompo and all animals.
JOIN OUR MANDELA DAY CHALLENGE BY:
1.As a corporation or workplace, sponsoring the training of a therapy dog puppy, Emotional Support Dog or even an ASSISTANCE dog , and/ or offering to foster the puppy at an employee’s home.
2. Make a collection in the office towards R350 for a service dog school bag.
3. Collecting funds to buy 67 tick and flea medications to donate to US FOR OUR ASSISTANCE DOGS.
