At UK Elite Assistance Dogs, we are committed to providing expertly trained assistance dogs to individuals with disabilities.

Our structured, in-house training model ensures faster placements without compromising quality. We offer tailored training, rigorous standards, and lifelong support to create lasting partnerships between dogs and handlers.
Customer TestimonialsUK Elite Assistance Dogs was established to address a critical need in the UK assistance dog industry. With thousands of people on multi-year waiting lists for assistance dogs, there is a clear demand for a professional, structured, and efficient approach to training and placement. Unlike traditional charity-based organisations that rely on funding and donations, UK Elite Assistance Dogs operates as a self-sustaining business, ensuring a faster, high-quality service without lengthy delays. Founded in Wigan, Greater Manchester, the business was created to provide expertly trained assistance dogs that transform the lives of individuals with disabilities. Recognising the significant shortage of skilled trainers in the industry, UK Elite Assistance Dogs offers a reliable, high-standard alternative that prioritises both the welfare of the dogs and the success of each handler partnership. The organisation is fully covered by public liability insurance and is staffed by fully licensed specialist dog trainers, ensuring the highest level of professionalism, safety, and expertise in every aspect of training and support.
Each of these assistance dogs is trained to provide life-changing support tailored to their handler’s specific needs. Their skills go beyond simple tasks, offering emotional reassurance, safety, and greater independence to those who need it most.
Our mobility assistance dogs are trained to support individuals with physical disabilities by performing essential daily tasks, including: retrieving dropped items, opening doors, pressing buttons for lifts and automatic doors, providing stability for balance issues, assisting with dressing and undressing.
