SERVICES

 Creative Canine Connections can support individuals and their dogs on the journey towards public access accreditation. Through personalised training and coaching, we help develop the skills, behaviours and confidence required for dogs to work safely and reliably in public settings.

Training can include obedience,  distraction proofing, environmental exposure and handler support. Every dog and handler team is unique, so programs are tailored to individual goals, abilities and circumstances.

Our aim is to help prepare dogs and handlers for the standards expected of working assistance dog teams and to support their progression towards assessment and accreditation through recognised organisations.

At Creative Canine Connections, we believe that meaningful connections can have a powerful impact on wellbeing. Dogs have a unique ability to bring people together, create opportunities for engagement and foster a sense of calm, trust and belonging.

Working with Iris, we offer personalised experiences designed to promote confidence, emotional wellbeing and positive social interaction. Through shared activities and genuine connection, participants can develop new skills, strengthen relationships and experience the many benefits that dogs can bring to everyday life.

 Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in education, training and mentoring, Creative Canine Connections delivers tailored school and community programs that harness the unique bond between people and dogs. Working alongside Iris, we provide engaging experiences that support learning, wellbeing, confidence and social connection.

Programs can include literacy support, wellbeing initiatives, social and emotional learning activities, and community engagement opportunities. Each program is designed to create positive, memorable experiences while fostering respect, empathy and meaningful connections.
