If you are interested in being considered for a social or service dog, you must submit an application by e-mail or letter to STH’s instructors.

In the application, you must tell us a little bit about yourself, your age, close relatives and everyday life. Furthermore, it is important to provide a thorough description of your disability/injury, and how it affects you. You should also state which assistive devices you use, and what help you receive during the week – if relevant. Tell us a little about your plans for the future, and how you imagine a service dog may be able to help you. Please also enclose a full-body photo.

When we have received your application, you will be contacted, and upon introductory telephone conversation, you will perhaps be invited in for a personal interview with STH’s instructors. If we subsequently deem that we will offer to co-train a dog with you, you will be registered on a waiting list. The waiting list is assessed regularly and is compared with dogs that have completed their training. When a suitable dog has completed its training, you will be invited to team training where you will be co-trained with the dog.

STH provides the social or service dog at the user’s disposal free of charge, all the user needs to do is pay a fee for life-time membership of the association of DKK 2500,-.
