#ActuallyAutistic 🇬🇧 empowering disabled people to train their own Assistance Dogs | ND Inclusive Stunt Dog Team | Force Free

Did you know that in a recent survey of assistance dog handlers in the UK: - 78% of partnerships were denied access to service providers due to a "no dogs" policy - 67% were refused entry because their assistance dog was not a guide dog - 61% were asked for documentation or registration - 50% of assistance dog teams experienced their dog being shouted at - 39% were told their dog couldn't be an assistance dog based on factors like color, breed, or vest - 25% reported incidents of their assistance dog being kicked or hit while working If you want to make a difference, consider joining the Infinity Dogs CIC #JustDont public information campaign. Together, we can educate people and service providers about the importance of assistance dogs and work towards positive change. DM me if you would like to get on board. :)
