What you'll do
In this live and interactive experience we hope to educate our guests on the training process and time it takes to provide professionally trained Guide Dogs. We will begin the process with meeting some of the dogs in training. We will then move over to our demonstration area where we will discuss the methods being used as well as the increased responsibility as we work with dogs who have just entered their formal training, are half way through their formal training and are finally ready to be matched with a client and graduate as a Guide Dog.
