Our Issues

Guide Dog Users of Canada represents guide dog handlers across our national who share all of the issues and concerns found below.

Public Education and Awareness

Learn more about the training of a guide dog, how they help their handlers, and the "Do's and Don'ts" of interacting with a guide dog team.

Team Well-being

Bonding with a new dog or coping with the illness, retirement, or death of an older guide dog can be very stressful and emotionally draining. GDUC offers a sympathetic ear to those who need to speak with someone who understands the complexities of the guide dog/guide dog handler relationship.

Travel and Transportation

Whether we're on a plane, train, bus, ferry, or horse-drawn carriage, our guide dogs are by our side. These modes of transportation can sometimes present unique challenges for guide dog users, though.
