Assistance dogs are both life-changing and life-saving!

Exceptional dogs for exceptional people! The association Partner-Hunde Österreich provides assistance dogs to people with special needs (e.g., service dogs for physical disabilities, signal dogs for deaf people or hard of hearing, people with diabetes, people with post-traumatic stress disorder or therapy-assistance dogs for children with autism, down syndrom or any other cognitive limitations.)

OUR METHOD

 

The early intervention and very intensive and special up-bringing is the cornerstone for a more responsive, capable and courageous service dog with strong nerves and willing to please

Our ambitions

 

Partner-Hunde Österreich does not only train assistance dogs, but also breeds their own dogs. The support of the Royal Canin Foundation contributes to increase their breeding dog base in order to reduce the waiting list, by funding the purchase of puppies and young adult dogs.
