🎄Merry Christmas Clients & Followers.

💛We wish you all a safe and happy holiday time.

🎄We will be taking a break from Foundation Assistance Dogs. We appreciate all of your support, love and kindness. We are so proud of what F.A.D’s clients have achieved this year and we are so honoured to have played a part in all of your journeys.

Figs first time in a shopping centre 🏬

🧠Lots of great challenges for miss Fig today but she worked through and overcame them.

🐕For our first trip we started in a low distraction, low intensity environment 👇

🐕From here we will be doing lots of positive repeated exposures at low intensity 👇then building upwards 👆

Hello everyone,

Just a reminder we are at CLIENT CAPACITY for 2022, unfortunately we are not able to accept new clients at this time.

Foundation Assistance Dogs is a small sole-trader business and runs at a capped capacity for clients. This is to ensure each client and dog is supported and receives the training they require.
Once a client finishes their package, there will be room for a new client, but if the existing client wants further packages they will be prioritised and supported first.

At this stage Foundation AD, is not an organisation for AD teams. It is a dog training business that specialises in assistance dog training (puppy development, foundation training, and trouble shooting).

If you need support please email us at [email protected] and we will be able to provide you with some alternative options, as there are some fantastic dog trainers around the Sunshine Coast, (and many that Foundation AD works with closely).

*Please note; if you have a puppy or are planning to get a puppy do not wait! Please ensure you have found a suitable trainer, this time is the most IMPORTANT for a prospect assistance dog *

Thank you everyone! We will continue to put out weekly content which we hope gives you ideas, and supports/inspires you virtually. 🌸

🪑 “Finding a chair” is a very important task for some Assistance Dogs and is certainly one of my favourite tasks to train.

Why you may ask ⁉️

🤯I am always blown away by the dogs ability to pick up on MANY different types of chairs and generalise this skill (and quickly!)

✨It’s incredible watching their brain work out what a “chair” actually is!
