Become a School Therapy Dog Specialist with the UK's first comprehensive programme that will equip you and your dog with everything you need to know and do to deliver safe and effective animal-assisted therapy in schools and educational establishments as a paid-for service.
You're already a qualified Dog Trainer running your own training business
You want to make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people
You'd like to avoid taking on more weekend or evening work (such as puppy classes), and you have spaces to fill in your diary between 9am and 3pm with sessions in schools
You'd love to have a new income stream into your business that creates more stability
You have a pet dog with the potential to become a Therapy Dog AND, you'd love nothing more than to work with your furry best friend every day!
As a Certified PAWS Trainer, what you earn is entirely up to you!
You choose your hours, the number of sessions you deliver per week and you have complete control over the number and type of schools that you work with.
Each visit typically lasts for 2 hours, and the minimum charge is £120 per visit.
Important: your dog’s welfare is paramount, which is why we strongly suggest that you don’t deliver more than 2 x two hour sessions per day, to give you and your dog appropriate time to rest.
That means if you’re working with the suggested maximum of 10 schools per week, your ‘active’ working hours are just 20 per week (not including travel time).

The ‘Your First School’ Guarantee
Our confidence in the effectiveness of our programme and the support provided is so strong that we offer a 'First School Guarantee.'
This means that if a Certified PAWS Trainer fully leverages our tools, templates, and support, but hasn't secured a school contract within 6 months post-graduation, we commit to providing ongoing, proactive marketing assistance until they do.
Want to spread the cost?
There’s also a 4 or 6 month interest-free instalment option available to make this even more affordable. You'll be able to discuss instalment options with one of our Enrolment Advisors when you apply.
It’s even rarer that that ‘thing’ changes other people’s lives, as well as our own, and does a huge amount of good.
But THIS is one of those times!
If you feel that (with the support of your dog) you want to play an instrumental role in supporting children and young people in your area, helping them to achieve, to create opportunities and to experience transformation in their lives, then we want to hear from you.
Enrolment is only open for a short time so that we can ensure every trainer that joins the PAWS team has in-depth training and support.
If this sounds even remotely interesting to you, click the button below to apply and we’ll give you a call to see if this is the right fit for you and your dog.
