🐾1 month together❤️🐾 Time is flying already and these 2 have loved their first month together.

The improvements we have seen in Max's Behaviour, anxiety and meltdowns have been amazing! Can you imagine going from 3 to 6 hour meltdowns to nothing more than 45 mins??

We have our lives back! Max's meltdowns would mean we lost days to overflow and upset now he seems to calm and process much quicker and even if not Harry provides distraction or DPT that aids him

have changed our lives and you all changed Max's life by helping make this possible ❤️❤️❤️

Harry was provided and trained by the wonderful find out more about Autism Dogs at www.autismdogs.co.uk

Big smiles from handler, Max, after the delivery of his newly-qualified Assistance Dog ‘Harry’! 😁

To get to the point of qualification, each dog goes through temperament assessments, basic obedience training, public access training and socialisation, Family Training with their handler and their handler’s family, and bespoke task training! Once qualified, the handler and their family also receive Delivery Inclusion Training, as well as aftercare support for the lifetime of the dog!

A lot of hard work is put in by both our team and the handler and their family to get to this point, but it’s definitely worth it to see how our Autism Assistance Dogs can go on to change the lives of autistic people and their families 😍

It's been a heck of a start to the year and apologies to all for our lack of updates we have over the past 4 week suffered from Covid one after the other :(

But we have great news that Harry will be coming home on the 17th!! Max is so excited he will have a number of training days with autism dogs at home and around Halifax so do give us a wave! And we will be visiting the wonderful business that helped us over the half term!

8 days to go!!

What a wonderful 3 days at Family Training huge thanks to Caroline & Andrew at Autism Dogs for giving us all there time and been so patient and wonderful with Max!

We had the best time seeing Max come out of his shell he spent time in shops a thing he has been unable to do for 18months!! He sat through modules of information without complain! In strange places he does not last normally 5 mins!! (Though he might have got too comfy! Especially on the heated floor!)

Max has been heartbroken in leaving Harry but knows he is working hard to come home to us

We have so much to learn but feel so supported by the autism dogs team! Harry is now entering advanced training and skills training In a program specific to Max's needs.

Good Morning everyone we hope you are all well! Just an update for those business who host our charity collection tubs (Skircoat Green Post Office, The Fabbadashery and Hirds Family Fisheries and their customers :)

When Max and Harry were matched we decided to use the just giving funds as the final payment of £3780 due at the end of January. The Bradley Lowery Foundation who host the just giving page and have a bank account set up in trust for Max informed us that just giving funds can take up to 3 months from the date deposited to be released.

Now autism dogs have no problem with this but the foundation suggested that all collection tub monies now be direct deposited into Max’s bank account with the foundation and they can add the total to his page, this will enable the payment due to be made fast at the time.

The just giving page will show the amount raised as normal and from now on any tub monies will be shown in the direct deposit section if you scroll down the page (as seen below) and we will continue to post every tub amount when collected as normal.

Again we thank you all so much for all your support! We are counting down the weeks until Harry comes home to Max ###

Today our Doctor Who loving Lad met his very own Companion! Meet Harry!, Max's assistance dog in training!

We would not be where we are in this moment without all your support! AND again we are asking for you to share this on your pages and stories!

While the just giving page is set at our total amount (we are waiting for this to be updated) as a family we have paid the 1st payment which means Max's just giving page total will pay the final amount of £3780!

Which mean we have just £1618 to go!!

If you would like to donate you can here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/SupportDogForMax
We have also set up a little wax melt business to help raise the funds needed. You can visit our online shop here: www.weirdwax.uk
