Dialogue for the blind is a great place. Did you everything they can to make you feel good as your getting trained for your dog. The ground with a way to help with any issues you have or take every problems you might have. Highly recommended if you are looking for a guide dog in you have mobility training and think you couldn't handle the responsibility in the experience. I enjoy the experience and look forward to my new guide.Dialogue for the blind is a great place. Did you everything they can to make you feel good as your getting trained for your dog.

Guide dogs for the blind is an amazing Organization that many visually impaired/blind people have greatly been benefited from. One including my father who received his first guide dog in 2007, she was amazing, her and my dad were such a great team she was fast and attentive and alert. Meg is now retired and living the life. The program back when he got meg was a month-long, to really train not only the dog but the handler, there is a lot to learn when receiving a service dog. And a month long time period can really ensure that the dog you receive works for you and that you guys can really work as a team. My father went back in 2017 to receive a new guy dog, they have changed their program since to a two week long program. Which I have learned and clearly can observe is not long enough. They have also shorten the age of graduation for the dog, (or at least for his dog) Meg graduated when she was 2 and his new dog only one and a half. He is not adequately trained,depends on food to complete commands, and needs a lot of work. My dad has had him for two years now, and his dog does not complete tasks that are really important such as follow,find the pole, even staying in lines while crossing the street. I just really wish they would reconsider a new program to ensure that all dogs that graduate are properly trained.

My wife and I have raised 21 puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. The organization is one of the finest philanthropic groups in the world. Their compassion and dedication to their clients permeates everything they do and we are proud to have been able to add our small sliver of help to a wonderful group.

To find a puppy club near you, visit guidedogs.com/puppy. Once you complete the Interest Form, you'll be contacted by your local club.
I think you have to be 18 in order to handle a working guide. They'll also want you to be proficient with other O&M skills like using a guide cane before you start working with a dog.
I taught my husband's guide dog to give me nose bonks for treats.
Absolutely! Contact them please
In order to raise a guide dog you should contact the local puppy club to your area. This information can generally be found by contacting the main offices at guide dogs or visiting the website. The process to begin involves undergoing certain entry period processed to ensure the potential raiser understands the real commitments involved, the guidelines around raising etc. It is also required that potential new raiders attend meetings with the local puppy (there are other requirements as well) There are several ways to volunteer at guide dogs, but few require as much dedication as puppy raising

Hi Pat, it depends on the individual dog. One career change dog I know is 5/8 Golden, 3/8 Lab. If you tell the placement coordinator the kind of dog you're hoping for, she'll try to match you up
They cover everthing from the west coast. Everone is whell to apply.
The minimum age is 18 years with a 1 year commitment > https://www.guidedogs.com/support-gdb/volunteer/campus-volunteers
You can contact the dog placement department at https://www.guidedogs.com/meet-gdb/dog-programs/dog-adoption I'm sure they would be happy to help you further!
