Volunteers
The instructors of Labrador-Guide Dog are working in three Polish cities: Poznań, Lódź and Szczecin. These are also the places there we look for puppy risers for our guide dog puppies
These dogs will stay with their puppy risers until they’ll be 18 months old. During this time the instructors are visiting them and assist in the work on their skills needed to become a guide dog. This is the first part of the training. Next will be the second part, the specialized training given by the Foundation’s instructors
