Guide Dog Instructor

Do you ever wonder how guide dogs, also known as seeing-eye dogs, end up with their owners? Guide dogs are bred, raised and trained by licensed instructors for the specific purpose of providing people who are blind or visually impaired with a means of greater mobility. Usually, guide dog instructors work in small groups and formally train a "string" of 10 to 30 dogs to become guide dogs. They also train the future owners of the guide dogs so they are confident once they leave the campus and return home.
