National Assistance Dog Day

Happy National Assistance Dog Day

Assistance Dog Day is an important holiday devoted to spreading awareness about how dogs improve the lives of countless people living with mobility-limiting disabilities and illnesses. Assistance Dog Day is held every August 4th to celebrate these incredibly devoted, heroic dogs. Assistance Dog Day is actually part of the International Assistance Dog Week or IADW, which claims the first Sunday in every August for itself.

Assistance Dog Day and Week are invaluable educational resources for people who might not be aware of how crucial assistance and service dogs are for those with disabilities. It’s a day for honoring the patient trainers who help mold these incredible dogs in the first place, too!

If you’re interested in learning a bit more about the holiday and some interesting facts about service dogs, you’re in luck! Our page is dedicated to showing our journey as an owner trained team. We share all the ups and downs as well as advocate for the service dog community!

Happy Assistance Dog Day everyone!
