At Canine Allies CIC, we know that supporting people is just as important as supporting dogs.

Working in the canine sector can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also bring unique challenges, pressures, and emotional demands. That’s why the wellbeing of our members is a priority.

We are proud to have two qualified Mental Health First Aiders available to our members around the clock. Whether someone is struggling, needs a confidential conversation, or requires support accessing further help, our Mental Health First Aiders are there to listen, support, and escalate concerns where appropriate.

No one should have to face mental health challenges alone. By creating a supportive community, we can help ensure that those who dedicate themselves to helping dogs receive the care and support they deserve too.

Welfare isn’t a luxury, it’s the foundation of responsible dog care.

At Canine Allies CIC, our welfare standards are built around one simple principle: every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and respected. From training methods and handling practices to daily care and enrichment, we prioritise each dog’s physical and emotional wellbeing at every stage.

We advocate for evidence-based, ethical approaches that put dogs’ needs first. Good welfare creates better outcomes for dogs, owners, and communities alike.

Together, we can raise the standard of canine welfare and promote a future where every dog is treated with compassion and dignity.
Welfare first. Always.

One of the most common questions we get asked when new members come on board, is how long does it take to train an assistance dog?

It depends.

The reality is that training an assistance dog is a long and detailed journey, taking anywhere from 18months-3years. It can even take longer, depending on the individual dog’s role, temperament, health and the needs of the handler.

Hundreds and hundreds of hours go into training an assistance dog. It’s not an easy thing, and there’s no ā€œquick routeā€.

Assistance dog training is not a race. Each dog develops at their own pace, and every partnership is unique.

Behind every successful assistance dog is an incredible amount of dedication from trainers, handles, families, volunteers and supports.

At Canine Allies CIC, we are proud to support each dog and handler through the stages of training.

Celebrating our amazing Bandit in his recent Public Access Test pass; marking him and his handler as a fully trained team!šŸŽ‰

The team have watched Bandit and his handler put in immense amounts of effort over the last few years, tackling each hurdle which comes their way with grace and now the hard work has paid off!

We are so thrilled and excited as the handling team progress into a fully trained partnership. We wish you both all the luck in the world for this new journey!ā¤ļø

Assistance dogs in medical settings is something you may see every once in awhile!

Assistance dogs, and assistance dogs in training, often accompany their handler into various medical spaces.

This can include (but is not limited to):
- GP practices
- Outpatients Clinics
- A&E
- Dental Practices
- Ophthalmology and Audiology Spaces

Often an assistance dog will be actively working and supporting their handler during their visit, but sometimes they may appear to be resting! It’s important they remain undisturbed and are able to do their job efficiently.

Under the 2010 Equality Act, assistance dogs that are appropriately trained can access medical settings, so long as it is not a sterile environment (ICU / operating room).

At Canine Allies CIC, we provide support with the owner-training of assistance dogs. Interested? Apply via www.canineallies.co.uk or [email protected]
