A day at the Guide Dog Training Centre Training a dog for guide work is a team effort. Guide dog instructors, dog trainers, kennel attendants and volunteer puppy raisers all help to give a dog the best job a dog could have. At 7am the dogs are taken outside and toileted. Afterwards they are fed.
Meals are a balanced diet and carefully measured.
Dogs are taught to wait until the O.K. to eat is given. They are also taught to toilet on command. This is important as a working dog travels on public transport, enters shopping centres and goes to work with its owner. Dogs have Saturday and Sunday off to relax , have a bath, a bone, a free run and a bit of pampering from the kennel staff. And it's back to work on Monday.
