Assistance Dog Training
in Reigate, Surrey

Support for Mobility, Autism, Medical Alert & More

Training your own assistance dog can be truly life-changing. Across the UK, more and more people are choosing to owner-train their dogs to avoid long charity waiting lists, create a deeper bond with their dog from the get-go, or gain more control over the support they receive. At Surrey Canine Corner, we believe assistance dog training should be accessible, affordable and supportive. Our focus is on helping you build a calm, capable partnership with your dog — with no pressure, no unrealistic promises, and no inflated costs.

Dogs will need be assessed for suitability, undertake obedience training, have effective socialisation and bespoke training to learn tasks that will mitigate your disability. We will work with you from the very start of your journey, and support you fully in your dog-handler partnership.

We work with individuals and families in Reigate, Redhill, Dorking and Horley (and throughout the UK via online support) providing tailored 1-2-1 training for dogs assisting with mobility, autism, medical alert conditions (such as seizures, diabetes, or POTS), and psychiatric support needs.

"Compassionate and Understanding"

"From the moment I connected with Becki I felt zero judgement only compassion and understanding of our situation and a willingness to work within our limitations, accommodating our disabilities and a level of adaptability that allowed us to learn new skills in a way that was accessible to us.

As time went on and I'd grew in confidence as an owner I needed less day to day guidance, but her support has never wavered. She's like our little cheerleader in my phone, who is always there to celebrate our achievements, however big or small."
