Service Description

Ever wondered about School Support Dogs? These extraordinary companions bring emotional support, companionship, and overall well-being to students in NSW schools. What Sets Them Apart School Support Dogs, whether owned by a NSW Department of Education staff member or an external individual, play a vital role in enhancing interactions within the school community. Key Attributes Each School Support Dog undergoes careful assessment, ensuring they possess the right temperament and training for success in their crucial role. The Process Unveiled 1. Pre-Assessment (You Are Here Now) Embark on the journey by having your dog assessed for School Support Dog suitability. If we think your dog is suitable, you will receive a recommendation letter for school submission. This assessment takes 30-40 min. 2.
