Raising a family pet and raising a future guide dog are both great adventures, but the first year of a guide dog puppy’s life is usually much more eventful than that of an average pet. This period is not only about an adorable, but well-behaved puppy also growing up — it is about laying the

Our trainer Mónika Köbli organizes excursions several times a year for clients who have received guide dogs from our foundation. Owners can enjoy nature walks in the company of their dogs with the help of volunteer sighted companions. The walks were called “Móni and the paper puppies” and are usually small in number so that
