Cape Town gets a new office!
Cape Town gets a new office!
It is with great excitement that we would like to announce that our Cape Town premises are expanding!
In 2005, we opened our first official training centre at 85 Belvedere Road, Claremont. This was done through a lot of fundraising work and the help of an entire community!
In 2008, through a very generous donation of an anonymous donor, we were gifted with 89 Belvedere Road. This allowed us to train more dogs and clients!

Recently, again through a very generous donation, we were able to purchase 87 Belvedere Road which is the property located between our Administration Office and our Training Centre in Belvedere Road, Claremont Cape Town.

Acquiring this property presents us with quite a few benefits and opportunities:
- We can do more basic training with our dogs within the safe confines, and reduced-distraction environment, of our training centre. Previously our space was very limited, so much of our dogs’ basic training was done in public spaces, which is not always ideal in the early stages of their training.
- We can host more classes simultaneously for the dogs on our Puppy Raising Program.
- We have more space for the dogs in training to relax in, while not busy training.
- We are able to host small functions, like Sponsor’s Days and Open Days, where we normally would have needed to rent premises to host these events.
It is thanks to generous bequests, sponsorships and donations, that we were able to make this valued purchase that will enable us to continue improving and furthering our services in the Western Cape.
For those who would like to come view our premises, please keep an eye open for news of our next Open Day!
