There are quite a few dog guide schools in the United States. The following list is not exhaustive. Most schools require students to attend an on-site training period that lasts about four weeks, followed by training in the student's home community when necessary.
Most schools provide the training, room, board, and dog at no cost to the student.
Many also provide financial assistance for the dog's feeding and care. Some schools will provide dogs to students who have additional disabling conditions. For more information about dog guides, speak to an orientation and mobility instructor with the Commission for the Blind or contact a school. Leader Dogs for the Blind 1039 Rochester Rd.
