Assistance Dogs
Our association supports people in training their assistance dog. Our core competencies lie in training dogs and empowering people to train their dogs themselves (“accompanied training”). Our trainers are on hand to advise and support the teams and accompany them along the way. The comprehensive training is tailored to individual needs and wishes and focuses on the trusting and harmonious relationship between humans and dogs.
Research Project 2020-2024
S.N.I.F. Dogs Switzerland’s first project is about documenting that specially trained dogs with high olfactory skills are capable of detecting odour changes in human urine stemming from patients suffering from bladder cancer by discriminating them from urine from healthy people.
This project is set up as a Partnership with the Division of Urological Surgery from the INSELSPITAL Bern, Teaching hospital of the University of Bern.
