Community Support Dogs
We train clients’ own dogs specifically to be skilled in behaviours appropriate to different types of facility.
This program allows owners to:
- Train their dog (with our help) to a very high level of skill
- Have the opportunity to give back to the community
- Put smiles on the faces of those that are vulnerable or need specific care in our community
- Give their pet dog a ‘job’ or ‘purpose’
- Feel a deserved sense of pride in their team i.e. their dog and themselves
The facilities visited by Bright Bessy Community Support Dog teams may include hospitals, schools ,group residences for those with a disability and nursing homes.
