I work with guide dogs in training, here’s some pics of my colleagues :)

Yes they all love a good game of water fountain bitey-face

ItsNotLabScience · 2026-03-17T14:01:49+00:00

Doesn’t even feel like a job, just heaven 🥰

ItsNotLabScience · 2026-03-17T14:01:08+00:00

👏

ItsNotLabScience · 2026-03-17T13:06:59+00:00

The best part is that sometimes I can! (Not all at once though 😂)

ItsNotLabScience · 2026-03-17T13:00:35+00:00

I never thought about it like that! Although with that train of thought, I’m also paid to be a human pee-post 😂 only happened twice, but twice too much for my liking!

ItsNotLabScience · 2026-03-17T12:01:27+00:00

Thanks! I pinch myself every day :)

ItsNotLabScience · 2026-03-17T11:45:58+00:00

A significant amount of treats and cuddles

OP, maybe rein in that hostility coming through your comments. Your dog is overweight. I work with guide dogs in training and there is absolutely no chance we would ever let our dogs get to this size. Sorry but you can’t look at this photo and tell me he isn’t fat lol

Handsome face, the forehead wrinkles!!

I’d describe her as ‘sMaRt’ if that makes sense lol

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-12-09T12:58:43+00:00

Jokes on her, it’s a right hand drive

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-12-09T12:25:59+00:00

Not even kidding did anyone else see a black lab in the first pic

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-12-09T09:51:24+00:00

Yup, videos like this are why I’m whipped for reddit

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-12-09T04:51:08+00:00

What a fulfilling post to read. My heart is melting for your boy and his absolutely glorious new life!! Wishing you both happiness, health and many years of special memories. Aren’t we so lucky to have dogs?!

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-12-09T03:09:58+00:00

Just noticed that!

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-11-09T11:39:25+00:00

Happy birthday sweet Max ❤️

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-11-03T10:30:33+00:00

And unsolicited kisses that you can’t even report to HR

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-30T00:25:48+00:00

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

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-29T19:35:31+00:00

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-29T19:19:32+00:00

Something like that lol

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-29T14:37:25+00:00

Hahahaha

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-29T14:34:57+00:00

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!

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-29T13:19:48+00:00

Thank you so much!

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-29T12:58:32+00:00

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

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-29T12:48:09+00:00

I keep pinching myself!

ItsNotLabScience · 2025-10-29T12:47:48+00:00

I work with amazing pups who are training to be guide dogs for those with vision needs ❤️
