About Us
Mitchell House is an Education Authority Belfast Region co-educational special school for children with physical disabilities. Most of our students have an associated learning difficulty to some degree.
It was our BIG graduation day today ๐ Me and my 6 siblings were so proud to celebrate all the hard work of training over the last months ๐พ Iโm now an official Assistance Dog ๐๐ป @assistancedogsni
We had Doggie School every Friday and lots of practice up the corridors and in the classrooms. Gary, our amazing trainer, deserves a big medal for his patience with us and our humans too! Iโm super excited to celebrate my graduation in school with all my chums very soon.
I even got an extra special certificate for learning how to actually walk and not just sit looking at my Mummy ๐คฃ when I was a little tiny puppy.
I was very happy to see my @wingitbelfast friends Ellie and Ethan at my graduation too ๐
What a special day ๐ How do you think we should celebrate in school?
This week I was so happy to welcome everyone back to school, my tail was wagging a lot ๐ I think they were happy to see me too, there were a lot of smiles ๐ One of my chums thanked me for my visit and told me that the cuddle had made them feel relaxed ๐ฅฐ I love my job!
Iโve been in school the last couple of weeks getting ready for the new school year ๐. I was so excited to go on a big trip out for the staff wellbeing day - can anyone spot me in the group photo? ๐
The other big excitement this week was my last Doggie School class with my bro and sisters - watch this space for our BIG graduation party coming up very soon! ๐
This was my very first visit to @wingitbelfast. Theyโre a pretty cool bunch! Just for the record I did NOT eat any of the chicken ๐ it was only my chums who had that very special privilege. I will tell you that it smelt pretty good so is worth checking out! Thanks @wingitbelfast for everything youโve done for me ๐

Hello everyone - itโs Raiaโs Mummy/Trainer/Paw-parent here and Iโve taken over her account to wish her a very Happy 1st Birthday ๐๐พ
Dear Raia
From the moment you came into our lives at just 4 months old, I knew you were something special. Watching you grow into the incredible assistance dog you are today has been an absolute joy. At school, youโre focused, calm, and always ready to supportโbut outside of work, youโre the most loving, playful, and cuddly pup I could ever ask for. ๐ถ๐
You brighten every morning with your snuggles, bring endless laughs with your toy obsession, and are the best company on walks.
Thank you for being my sidekick, my student, my shadow, and my wee chum ๐
I canโt wait to see what amazing things you achieve over the next 12 months.
PS Normal service will resume again!
Episode 2 - look how tiny I am here! I still give the best cuddles ๐ @utv.ni
I did a VERY important job today ๐ฌ make sure you watch UTV on Friday at 7pm to see what I got up to!
Massive thanks to everyone at @utv.ni for all the cuddles and making the morning so exciting for me. They all said I was a star โจ๐พ (I kind of know that anyway!).
Big bonus for me was getting to see my besties Emma and Simon, I was super excited to see them ๐
