The Seeing Eye will also occasionally use
Poodles.12 times per year a group of up to 24 blind students train with their new Seeing Eye® dogs at the Morristown campus. It costs $150 for a person’s first Seeing Eye® dog and $50 for each dog thereafter.
Slide6
Rules to follow with Seeing Eye® puppies
NEVER let a puppy off leash in public or outside (unless in a fenced yard)
NEVER feed a puppy people food

When leaving a puppy unattended he
must be in his crate

you puppy kit and instructions, leash & training collar/martingale, food, tie down/crate

Slide11
Why we’re different
The puppies we are raising have a unique job ahead of them. Some fundamental parts of that job set it apart from most dog training.
Our dogs need to be eager to pull out in front of their handlers and
lead on the left side
; they should not be content to follow!
Our dogs must be confident enough to
disobey a command that can lead to a dangerous situation. This is called intelligent disobedience.
The basis of other types of training is “command and obey” with guide dog training, the basis is “command and obey if it’s OK.”
This is the difference between training a dog and
educating
a dog.
Slide12
