Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, National Office and Training Centre
P.O. Box 280, 4120 Rideau Valley Drive N. Manotick, Ontario K4M 1A3 Tel: (613) 692-7777 Fax: (613) 692-0650

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind places puppies at approximately 7 weeks of age with foster families called "puppy walkers" who raise the pups for up to 18 months. The Puppy Walkers socialize the puppies, which are mainly Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers, to as many different, everyday environments as possible. The socialization begins in the home and gradually advances to quiet residential areas and slowly works up to restaurants, shopping malls, public transit, elevators and so on. This program is supervised by a member of the staff from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

The first formative year is of vital importance in the temperamental and physical growth of a young dog and all activities with a puppy should be directed to the development of habits and characteristics that form the basis of a Guide Dog.

The puppy stays with the family until they are between twelve and eighteen months of age, after which the pup begins its formal training at the Training Centre with a Guide Dog Mobility Instructor.
If you are interested in the Puppy Walking Program you must meet the following criteria:

1. The Puppy Walker must be a responsible adult who does not have work commitments, is
available during the day and can drive to appointments;
2. The yard is appropriately fenced;
3. The puppy must live in the house as a member of the family; and
4. You must live in one of our 'active' areas*.

* Our active areas are:
