STH - Servicehunde til Handicappede
We train social and service dogs to bring joy and support to people with physical disabilities
STH is a non-profit organisation that, since 1996, has trained service dogs for people with physical disabilities. We carefully match each user with the right dog to create safety, support, and a freer, more active everyday life.
Our dogs go through a thorough training programme with experienced instructors and dog trainers, enabling them to assist with daily tasks – both at home and out in public.
Our work is only possible thanks to dedicated volunteer puppy host families, as well as support from private individuals, foundations, and companies. Through memberships, donations, and sponsorships, they make it possible for us to train service dogs that make a real difference in people’s lives.
Our dogs
A service dog is not simply born – it is created through targeted training, socialization, and a close partnership with experienced trainers. At STH, we train retrievers to become reliable helpers for people with physical disabilities.
About STH
STH is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing people with physical disabilities increased independence, security, and quality of life through specially trained service dogs. We ensure a valuable partnership that benefits both.
WHO BENEFITS
Intended users of a service dog
Getting a service dog is a major decision and a lifestyle that requires time, responsibility, and resources. At STH, only people with a physical disability can apply for a service dog.
We do not train or place psychiatric service dogs and therefore cannot provide guidance on this. This also means that we do not offer service dogs to assist with conditions such as autism, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, or similar.
We do not provide advice on purchasing or choosing private dogs, nor do we offer training or certification for private dogs.
We are the only association in Denmark accredited according to international standards and a member of ADI and ADEu.
We train service dogs for people with physical disabilities who wish to become more self-reliant.
We ensure the right match between user and dog, and we support the team throughout the dog’s entire lifetime.

Assistance Dogs International
