Finding clear answers about assistance dogs in the UK shouldn't be harder than training one. This is the Knowledge Hub from Assistance Dog Registry, the UK's most-read voluntary registration service, trusted by more than 6,000 handlers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Every article below is written by our team and reviewed against the Equality Act 2010 and the latest UK guidance. We focus on what UK handlers actually experience: refusals in shops and pubs, rights at work, travelling abroad after Brexit, owner-training versus charity-training, and the difference between a genuine assistance dog registration and the £7,000 scams that keep circling online.
The hub is organised into six topic pillars so you can find what you need fast. If you're dealing with a specific situation, like a pub manager refusing entry, an airline asking for paperwork, or a landlord questioning your dog, start with UK Assistance Dog Law. If you're new to all this and considering registering your dog, start with Registration & Documentation or Owner-Trained.
New articles are published regularly and every legal reference is updated whenever UK law changes. Nothing here is legal advice, but everything here is what we'd tell a friend.
