WAAT Dogs - Western Australian Assistance and Therapy Dogs
WAAT Dogs is Western Australia's first Assistance and Therapy Dog Training Organisation. WAAT Dogs aims to be an Assistance Dog training organisation with a difference. WAAT Dogs was started by people with lived experience and continues to have Assistance Dogs handlers influence organisational decisions. WAAT Dogs also aims to support the handler. Where there are trainers who are excellent at training a dog to be an Assistance Dog, WAAT Dogs aims to also support the handler. We have therapists and our trainers undergo training to better support the handlers.
