Request a Canine Partners speaker

Our talks provide an engaging introduction to how we breed, train, and carefully match our dogs with disabled people. You’ll learn about the specialist skills our assistance dogs develop, their partnership journey, and the lifelong support we provide to ensure each partnership thrives.

Many of our speakers share personal experiences as part of a partnership or as a dedicated volunteers, providing insight into physical disability, inclusion, and the life-changing impact of assistance dogs.

Talks can be delivered online (20 to 30 minutes) or in person (30 to 60 minutes), depending on your needs. When possible, a Canine Partner or Dog Ambassador may attend to support the session, although we can’t guarantee a dog will be present.

Hosting a talk is a powerful way to raise awareness, inspire conversation, and bring your community together. It helps audiences better understand disability and inclusion, while highlighting the impact of assistance dogs across the UK.

We regularly speak to schools, community groups, and businesses, tailoring each session to suit your audience. If you’re unsure whether your event would be suitable, we’d be happy to discuss your plans.

We want our talks to be as accessible to as many groups as possible but as a charity we rely on public support to fund our work. We suggest a donation of £50 to help cover our costs.
