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. |
