Judith (Disabled) and Garven Wright Wright (Carer) - Queensland
Judith is a Grade Five International Dog
Trainer - (the highest grading possible), along with her husband
Garven Wright, another Grade Five International Standards Dog
Trainer, they operate for us as Independent Trainers. We are
proud and fortunate to have these two Disability Aid Dogs do not easily give
accreditation to any dog trainers, as they need to have a solid
understanding of how to handle disabilities and associative issues.
These brilliant trainers are also very polished at understanding one
of Disability Aid Dogs most critical qualifications, understanding
how to train both the disabled person and their dog as a team, also
working intensively with their carer. Judith has been
training, showing and breeding dogs - (mostly Collie Dogs but now
very involved in Saint Bernard's) - this woman has spent over
half a century both loving and understanding her beloved Canine
Companions, then, over the past six years, now become our pride and
principal Queensland Assistance Dog Trainer. Rhana Smith - Gosford Area -
Central Coast New South Wales
This woman is a brilliant animal behaviourist, having done formal courses in Whale Training - also a highly respected and recognised Horse Trainer, having changed the lives of countless children and horses alike, with her indelible insight and drive "TO CARE". Rhana has been accredited by us for over six years, even with her unenviable abilities , she still needed to pass a very comprehensive 'Accreditation' process with Disability Aid Dogs. Having shown formal and recognised competency in every field of Animal Behaviour and Assistance Dogs and Team Training - doing all the similar examinations for Disability Aid Dogs as has Judith and Garven, Rhana is without argument, the most highly qualified trainer and behavioural specialist that we as an organisation have ever worked with. Rhana is a rare talent, hard worker,
often pushing through her own severe disabilities to crown other
disadvantaged and disabled people, frequently working with children,
with the very rare ability to become independent, or simply feel
loved and cared for. Rhana is our new Executive Director Of
Training - Managing Director and Chairperson - She is now our new
General Manager,
and works with us as we do with her - Her Words Are - WE CARE! Henri Marchand

Our Founders
Alex and Connie founded Disability Aid Dogs on February 16th 1994. In the past 16 years or more, they have sacrificed their life savings, now living on a pension as seniors - Alex now the Secretary and Legal Officer of the company and still assisting the disabled. Now "winding down", these seniors are still very much a part of Disability Aid Dogs. Alex recently suffered a mild stroke and is recuperating slowly, but still spends much time and energy in his new postings as our "Company Secretary" and "Executive Legal Officer". A Sad Note
Danny Boy Passes Away This legend and wonder dog passed away on Monday 28th September 2009. He was dearly loved by everyone and will be sadly missed. Danny was a cancer detection, medical alert and epilepsy alert dog, not to mention the much loved companion to Alex and Connie. We Remember this animal with great pride and love! |
