My Story:

I am a qualified canine behaviour psycholigist and trainer and I am the founder and co-ordinator for the Mental Health Assistance Dog Programme here in the UK. The web page for this is www.mentalhealthdogs.webs.com

I suffer from a form of Bipolar disorder and spent many years being refused by exsisting assistance dog charities when I asked for help so I set up on my own and formed the assistance dog programme.

I have 3 fab but mad SBTs who keep me on the straight and narrow and work as my assistance dogs in different ways.

I love nothing more than spending the night in with my dogs and doing paper work on the PC with tv in the back ground
