As a disabled person myself, I have felt this. Everything catered towards disabled people with pets is for service animals. I didn't have a service animal, I had my dogs that I felt guilty that I couldn't take on 4 hour hikes to burn off energy, sad that some days our time spent together was recovering in bed and frustrated that every able bodied dog trainer I came into contact with told me I wouldn't figure it out and just to stop trying.

What a silly thing to have said to a determined person like me!
Hi I'm Demi, owner of The K9 Personal Trainer, a dog training business centred around helping dog owners like you.

It was something I saw the industry struggling with, normal pet owners that didn't want a service dog, they didn't want their canine companions to be a medical device; they just wanted to be able to enjoy life with their hounds.

And that's where I come in.

I want to help you! I have created my 'Accessible Dog Guardian Strategies Guide' for dog owners just like you! Over three emails it covers strategies in fitting in dog training around your disability, equipment I regularly use with my own dogs and recommendations I make to clients, and day 3 covers how to make training more fun again rather than a chore. I know how it feels, I've been there. That's why I want to help you.

I want to help as many people that are apart of my community as possible. That community being dog owners with disabilities.

Disability is not a question of if but rather of when...

It is the only minority group that you can become apart of at any moment in life.

Whether you were born with your disability or you obtained it over time.

Let me help

Demi has taken our dog (rehomed from rehoming centre 5.5 years ago) on training walks for 5 years. We honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Her expertise and ability to adapt to different situations never fails to impress us. She has made such a difference to the dog who was, literally, frightened of everything outside our home. Demi's knowledge of dogs is amazing and she is always willing to explain the reasons behind training techniques so that we understand fully how to continue with her training methods. Looking back, we are so thankful we found Demi to help us on our doggy journey regarding training, nutrition etc. We can't imagine our life without her now, she's become a good friend to us as well as our canine child 😁. Rua was terrified of anything that moved fast (cars, lorries, children on bikes and roller skates etc)but thanks to Demi's patience and skills she is now a joy to walk as she no longer tries to jump into the road towards the traffic. She rarely barks at other dogs when out walking as she has been taught to ignore them and enjoy a good old sniff in hedge instead.
