Support Us - Home Boarding

Home Boarders volunteer their time, their homes and their care to a young and more mature dog for a 4 to 6 month period. During this time many important facets of the dog's health are assessed including eye sight, bone structure and density, and general fitness. When these tests are passed, the dog undertakes a series of assessment walks where they are observed for basic character and temperament. Those dogs who demonstrate the best character and skills are accepted into the six month comprehensive guide dog training program and move right up to the matching process with clients.
