Guide Dogs
Our dogs enable people who are vision impaired achieve greater independence and mobility
Guide Dogs act not only as a mobility aid but also as a constant support providing both safety and social benefits.
Your new-found independence and mobility will give you greater freedom to enjoy getting out and about, both for work and socialising.
Our 3-week residential training programme involves you coming to our Training Centre where our team of expert instructors will train you and your new partner on everyday skills, from crossing roads to using public transport, as well as dog handling, feeding, grooming and vet care.
We train people from the age of 16 and there is no upper limit. All our services are provided at no cost to you.
Please complete the following form to apply for a Guide Dog.
We will be in touch with you to discuss your application and the process involved in being considered for a Guide Dog.
