Guide Dogs WA

Guide Dogs WA is the only Western Australian based provider of Guide Dog training services in the community. We provide life-changing Guide Dogs, Autism Assistance Dogs and Therapy Dogs for a school, hospital or therapy setting.

 

It takes over two years and costs more than $50,000 to train a Guide or Assistance Dog. Guide Dogs WA relies on the support of the community to provide these life changing services to Western Australians living with low vision, disability and illness.

 

Guide Dogs WA is the original home of Guide Dogs in Australia. The first professionally trained and registered Guide Dog, Dreena, was brought to Australia from England in 1950 by Dr. Arnold Cook; a visionary West Australian who also happened to be blind. 

 

Guide Dogs WA is owned and operated by VisAbility Ltd.
