A person or family raised this puppy to become a dog guide. This varies from program to program, but essentially, anyone interested in raising guide dog puppies should have enough time to spend socializing the puppy a few hours per day through walks and visits to various places, time for standard puppy or obedience classes and the willingness to work with a young dog to mold it into a good canine citizen. Puppy raisers may also come through your local 4H club's programs.
Children can raise puppies, with parental supervision.
This activity builds confidence and a sense of pride in being a part of the guide dog world, the world of safe mobility and independence. All of the guide dog schools listed in this link have organized puppy raising programs. Just click below for more info. Each school has different requirements regarding geographical location, attendance in puppy training classes, etc. Just because there isn't a program near you doesn't mean you can't raise a puppy.
