Born to Lead–A Guide Dog Documentary
A documentary I made about Traci Holmes, a Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy raiser and chapter leader of Born to Lead, the Davis County, Utah club. I made this film for my Film 3710 class at the U of U (Film Production 1). Because I used to raise puppies myself, I knew that I wanted this to be my documentary subject. If you are interested in raising a puppy for Guide Dogs for the Blind, please visit www.guidedogs.com and contact your local chapter leader for more information.

Q&A: Guide Dogs for the Blind.?
Question by : Guide Dogs for the Blind.?
I have recently joined an organization called “Guide Dogs for the Blind”. I’ve gone to a couple local meetings, I’ve met all the puppies in my area, and am considering puppy raising this fall, whom I will train for a year and a half.
I’m just curious to hear if anyone here has ever raised a puppy as a potential guide dog.
Is it worth the time and money, considering it’s not your dog?

Answer by petsinformation
Although i am not a puppy raiser, Yes, it is worth every cent, as without Puppy rasier, these pups would NOT have a hope of being able to help blind people lead a normal life and allow them plenty of freedom, that would not be possible without the efford of puppy raisers.Some pups DON’T make it,and either go to do other servies, or the puppy raiser may have the option of keeping the pup.
Puppy Raisers
When they’re ready to leave their mother, dogs that show a level of aptitude for guiding go to a loving home to enjoy being a puppy and grow into a well-trained young adult.
These volunteer puppy raisers are just ordinary people who go through an application process and training program at the guide dog school. The school screens for raising ability and works with puppy raisers one-on-one to help them learn how to work with the puppy. In addition, the school will generally provide the raisers with a manual and video that tells them almost everything they need to know. The raiser’s job is to teach the puppy obedience skills, expose the puppy to all sorts of people and environments and give the puppy all the love and attention it needs to grow into a happy, confident dog that is ready for guide training. Basically, raisers lay the groundwork for the more extensive guide training to come.

Puppy raisers expose future guide dogs to all kinds of everyday situations.
One of the most important aspects of raising a future guide dog is to get it comfortable with all kinds of situations. Socialization is important for any dog, but it is crucial for guide dogs, who must be able to go anywhere without being distracted from their work. They must be accustomed to loud noises, adverse weather conditions, crowds of people and tricky obstacles. A guide dog needs to be confident in any situation its handler might experience. In Guiding Eyes for the Blind puppy raising programs, raisers typically expose the puppies to at least five new experiences a week.
In order to excel in advanced training later on, the puppy needs to get some experience with obedience early in life. Guiding Eyes for the Blind teaches puppy raisers to first develop a good working relationship with the dog. It is extremely important that future guide dogs are attentive and responsive to their handlers, and that they have the self-confidence to handle complex commands and stressful situations. The most important job of a puppy raiser is fostering these qualities.
Raisers also teach puppies the basics of obedience — to sit, lie down and walk correctly on a leash — and get them used to extensive training sessions several times a week. Raisers train the puppy using leash corrections and praise, never treat rewards. It’s very important that a future guide dog not be fixated on food because when they’re on the job, they will have to work without the expectation of a reward and they will have to maintain concentration in restaurants and other areas with food distractions.
Raising a future guide dog is a wonderful experience, but it is very difficult emotionally. At the end of the puppy raising period, a little over a year, the puppy raiser must bring the dog back to the training school so it can go on to help a blind or visually impaired person. Giving the dog up after raising it for a year is a very sad experience, but puppy raisers are rewarded by the satisfaction of contributing to the process. Most puppy raisers end up raising many future guide dogs, because of the happiness it brings them
Puppy Raising is a foster program for our young recruits, so they receive the best possible care in a loving home environment. Puppy Raisers come from all walks of life, from dog lovers who wish to own a dog but can’t provide lifelong care, to families learning to raise a dog before having their own pet. But they have one thing in common – Puppy Raisers help to change people’s lives forever. As a Puppy Raiser, your dog will become an invaluable companion to a person with special needs in your community, either as a Guide Dog or a Pets As Therapy dog.

How can I become a guide dog trainer…?
Question by nat revolution: How can I become a guide dog trainer…?
I don’t want to work at a guide dog school, but I would like to train guide dogs, and/or other assistance dogs. I am not looking to make a profit, just to do something good.
Is this a good idea? Is it possible? How would I go about doing it? Are there any laws for how they must be trained, or any other regulations I should know about?
I’ve been doing lots of research, but I haven’t been able to find anything about becoming an independent guide dog trainer.
I will not be doing this in the United States or Canada. I would like to work in Brazil. If anyone has any experience, or knows anybody that can help me, I would appreciate a point in the right direction
Thank you!!
To the first answer: All guide dog trainers had to start somewhere…. I’m asking where to start.
I found a school in California that teaches this kind of thing, but the actual degree seemed a little “fluff”…
And where I would like to work (Brazil), I have seen many blind people walking around with nothing more than a stick. Some form of trained dog is surely better than this is it not?
By the way, I am not asking for this to happen over night, obviously. I expect to have to put a lot of time and effort into this to make it even a possibilty, but I would like to try. I know I will have to start small and work up. On Monday I am making a trip to the only guide dog school in Brazil that I was able to find, that happens to be in the city I live in. I was just hoping to find some more information from the Yahoo Answers community.
I still am not sure I understand the “grow up” comment….
but anyway, if any of you have been to Brazil, you might know more of what I’m talking about… I’m not trying to be ignorant about disabilities (to a large extent I am because I am not disabled), but a large portion of the people here are poor, and can’t afford the help they probably need. For instance, there is a deaf man who lives outside a market downtown, and he doesn’t know any sign language or how to communicate with people to any extent.
Anyway… I was asking how reasonable this idea was, and apparently not reasonable at all. I just don’t really get all I’ve read online… that it is nearly impossible to get into guide dog training work because of so much interest, yet there are waiting lits to get dogs, and most people don’t / can’t.
Best answer:
Answer by Stalkers are cowardly thieves
Grow up…TITLE a bunch of dogs ,the highest levels…PROVE you can train the BASICS before even attempting to apply. This is NOT a game/hobby-lives depend on doing things RIGHT! ALL guide dogs must be CERTIFIED!!!
OR…do you mean just being a “puppy-raiser”? Slightly less expertise needed.
ADDED=that ***IS*** “how you start”GROW UP ***TITLE ******DOGS!!!,etc.etc!!!
What’s so baffling?
