2. To actively promote the concept of trained assistance dogs for people with physical disabilities.

3. To raise general awareness and support for the assistance dog program among relevant private and public organisations and the broader community.

5. To train and provide training methods that are based on the ‘positive conditioning’ approach.

 

Vision

Everyone, regardless of age, gender or ability, has the right to live as socially, independently and as confidently as possible. ASDOG recognises that quality of life, success and happiness are closely linked to independence and being in control of everyday activities. It is the aim of ASDOG to enable people with physical disability to function effectively and independently in their own homes, their workplaces and in the wider community.
