About
Approximately 110 puppies were in raiser homes during the year. Our puppy program monitors and assist with training in the community until the dogs are returned to the school. The kennel boards these dogs when requested and cares for all dogs returned for formal training at approximately 18 months old. Qualified instructors take over training the skill set required for a guide dog. Throughout this time, our veterinary center manages the medical aspect of our dogs.Our goal is to graduate 60 guide dog teams each year and provide a lifetime of support to all graduated teams.The schools primary programs are dedicated to: breeding dogs with the optimal health, temperament and desire for guide work; ensuring the proper care, development, socialization and training of those dogs; teaching the dogs and students to work together as a team; and providing the on-going support necessary to ensure all graduated teams remain safe and effective throughout their working lives. The schools primary departments as measured by expenses are: Breeding, Puppy Program, Kennels, Guide Dog Training, Student Training, Accommodations and Graduate Services, and Veterinary Clinic.
