It takes approximately two years to train and place a guide dog with a blind individual. Careful, selective breeding is the first step. When they are two months old, the puppies go to live with puppy raiser families. These volunteers provide love and guidance for close to one year before returning the dog to Southeastern for harness training. Guide dogs learn over 40 commands in their four to six months of training. They also learn an essential skill called intelligent disobedience, or the refusal to obey any command that would put the blind master and dog in danger. Guide dogs are considered to be "on duty" when wearing a harness. It is a natural impulse to want to stop and pet a guide dog, but the guide dog should not be petted or offered treats while "working. |

trained or were being trained to be seeing eye dogs
