Anyone got a PAT dog?

I have 2 dogs, one of which I think would be great at doing this. She's only 5 months at the moment so too early I know. She has a great temperament, never pulls, can do all basic commands, goes to classes.

Anyone else have a dog that has been assessed or going to?

Yes one of mine is a PAT dog, though we are currently having a little break (had my ds 5 months ago). Your dog sounds as though she would be great at it! Though she needs to be 9 months old before she can be officially registered. I really recommend it; it can be wonderful sometimes and heartbreaking other times...

My (now sadly deceased) Border Collie was a Therapet (Scottish PAT Dog) for about 6/7 years.
She loved doing it.
We visited several places over the years and it is a really rewarding thing to do.
Tears and laughter are all part of it

Sounds as if your pup will enjoy it too, once she's old enough.

Good luck
