Puppy raisers nurture the young pups and familiarize them with everyday situations. They establish the loving human bond that is the foundation of the puppies’ future role in a guide dog team. Raisers are provided the necessary training and support from a volunteer area coordinator.
After a year and a half, puppy raisers return the dogs to Guiding Eyes for evaluation. Dogs that pass their tests begin formal training with guide dog instructors. After four to six months of rigorous training the dogs have learned to assist their future.blind partr ner in traveling safely and with more confidence.
It costs approximately $40,000 to match a Guiding Eyes dog with a blind partner. Funded solely by contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations, Guiding Eyes is able to cover all costs.
