Puppy Academy

The first year of a PADS puppy’s journey is absolutely vital—it’s when foundational skills, socialization, and early training set the stage for future success as an Assistance Dog. Through the Puppy Academy Bursaries, you can support this transformative time across three key stages: the Kindergarten Bursary nurtures playful beginnings and early socialization; the Elementary School Bursary builds basic skills and confidence; and the Secondary School Bursary prepares the puppy for Advanced Training. Choose the bursary that speaks to you—and be part of a puppy’s path to changing a life.
