Our volunteer puppy raisers provide a guide dog puppy with the vital foundation for its future role as a guide dog, guiding him or her through initial training, socialisation, the introduction of new environments and experiences whilst providing a loving home. This video shows how our guide dog puppies develop at three different stages of their puppy raising journey, as they grow towards the next stage of their guide dog training.

Lovely video - brought a lump to my throat. To see these wonderful people taking time in their lives to nurture a puppy that in time will support & love someone for years to come x

What a lovely comment to read, Loraine! We're forever thankful for all of our staff and volunteers. They're truly incredible! ❤️

I would like to extend my gratitude to every puppy walker, trainer, and raisers involved with Guide Dogs. I'm currently at my residential training after being matched with one of your dogs, and I could never express just how thankful I am to you all who go that extra mile (often quite literally!) to love and care for these remarkable life changers. I'll be forever grateful to you all 🐾💙

Thank you for your wonderful comment! We're very lucky to have so much brilliant volunteers who help us train our life-changing guide dogs. We couldn't do it without them! ❤️

I am in New Zealand and my husband is doing his residential training at the moment. He has fallen in love with his yellow lab. He is also enjoying himself and bonding with him. Thank you to everyone that is involved in the process throughout the world.

I have just found the Guide Dogs channel, I'm crying tears of love and joy but also feeling so much admiration for all of you who raise these wonderful dogs, I have 15 years until retirement and I would love to get involved in helping to help another person. Please keep up the great work.

I've met Pete and Susie! Such a fantastic couple, they do a brilliant job!

We agree! They're brilliant 💙

As a Puppy Raiser... this video should come with a warning, that currently 50% of puppies do not make the grade, because Guide Dogs rightly have incredibly high standards. I worked SO hard to make a Guide Dog, but a health condition meant he could not continue in their programme. The emotional roller coaster of a being a Puppy Raiser is so draining, but the potential to have created one of the 50% who do make it, is worth it!

Hi, do you mind me asking what happens to the pup you've raised now? Will he be rehomed with you or someone else? Many thanks

[@trudirussell6744]

Guide Dogs have offered him to us as a pet, but if we keep him I could not co tinge Puppy Raising. If we decide not to keep him he will be offered for rehoming and will make someone an incredible family pet!
