We are happy to accept applicants who have previously been with another organisation, as long as the dog was not withdrawn from the other organisation due to aggression or anxiety as well as applicants who have been owner training their assistance dog on their own but now wish to be with an organisation. 

If you've began public access training (training in non pet dog friendly places) and/or task training you're welcome to apply for our full membership program via a direct access assessment. This is a 3 hour group assessment which takes place on the first Sunday of each month from 10.30am till 1.30pm in Nottingham. During this assessment we will assess whether your dog is suitable to join our program and if they are, what level they can join at (foundation, bronze, silver or gold (fully trained) level. This assessment costs £55 and comes with a written report. To arrange your assessment you need to book via the 'events' page  If you wish to join the task based membership then you simply need to apply by completing the downloadable application form below. 

If you wish to check if you're eligible and would be accepted on our program before leaving your current program, you can join the assessment session while being a member of another organisation as long as you have your dogs own insurance and do not bring any equipment which is labeled with your current organisation.
