Support Service
Our supported dog walking service is an outcome-focused wellbeing programme designed to help adults who have a learning disability build confidence, routine, and independence through meaningful community activity.
We use structured dog walking sessions as a therapeutic tool to support personal development goals, which may include:
Improving physical health and daily activity
Building confidence in community settings
Developing routine and responsibility
Reducing social isolation and increasing social interaction
Supporting emotional and mental wellbeing
Strengthening social, communication and everyday skills
Living a healthy, active lifestyle
Sessions are relaxed, supportive, and tailored to each person on a one-to-one basis. There are no performance targets or pressures - our focus is always on wellbeing, enjoyment, and personal progress.
Participants are supported by our team in real community settings, helping them feel comfortable, capable, and included while working towards their own goals.
