What is Puppy Caring?
The puppy caring program requires volunteers to care for a puppy in their home from the age of 8 weeks, until they are approximately 12-15 months of age, before entering the training program. The puppy will be with you in everyday situations including going to school which has been proven to have a positive impact on health and wellbeing.
Seeing Eye Dogs provide all the equipment, food, training and support needed through regular home visits from a Seeing Eye Dogs Puppy Development Trainer, group training days and socialisation days. Various caring options are available.
For anyone who applies before 30 September 2018 and mentions this item, your class will be entered into the draw to win a tour of the Seeing Eye Dogs Puppy Centre located in Kensington!
