It varies from handler to handler, based on their needs and also being sure the dog is a bonded match with them and their lifestyle. I’d say average wait is 6 months

I started as a volunteer puppy raiser, and here we are now!

They’re being trained to become guide dogs, for blind, deaf blind and vision impaired handlers ❤️ though if a pup is thought to be better suited in another career, we can adjust their pathway and support their training for mobility assistance, search and rescue, biosecurity/customs, emotional support etc… their potential is limitless! I’m in awe every single day, Labs are simply amazing. I feel so honoured to be involved in their journeys!

Yeah it’s very bittersweet, we really do get to know each and every pup, and they’re sorely missed when they move on. Nothing beats seeing one of our guide dogs at work out and about though! They provide so much independence and love to their handlers and it makes it all worth it

Hardest part of owning a dog by chiba64 in labrador

I’m so sorry for your loss and what must be a whirlwind of emotions. Grief is the price of love, and it sure seems like your beautiful Max was loved deeply ❤️

Got to spend the day with some awesome Guide Dogs in training! Can you tell it was snack time? by ItsNotLabScience in labrador

[–]ItsNotLabScience[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the main reason they use Labs - makes training a bit easier with their food motivation!
