Assistance Dogs and Animal Assisted Mentoring
Harness the Power of the Human-Dog Bond
At Canine Interaction, we offer two specialised services that recognise the unique therapeutic and practical power of working with dogs: animal assisted mentoring and assistance dog training in Adelaide.
Your dog isn't just a pet—they can be a mentor, a teacher, and a bridge to building the life skills you need.
Two Distinct Pathways, One Powerful Connection
Whether you're looking to use your dog as a tool for personal growth and development, or you need to train an assistance dog to support your disability, we're here to guide you.
Assistance Dog Training
Our Assistance Dog Training programs prepare dogs for life-changing work—supporting people with disabilities, mental health conditions, or specific medical needs. Whether you're training your own assistance dog or seeking professional guidance, we provide expert instruction in task training, public access skills, and handler partnership. From mobility support to psychiatric assistance, our programs build reliable, confident working dogs who transform lives every day.

Animal Assisted Mentoring
Animal Assisted Mentoring harnesses the power of the human-animal bond to support people facing challenges. Our unique programs incorporate your own dog into mentoring sessions, creating a familiar and comforting presence while building confidence, emotional regulation, and social skills. This evidence-based approach helps people of all ages develop resilience, empathy, and connection through meaningful interactions with their own trusted companion.
