They train for a year, but not all qualify. We’re told only 42% of all dogs in training actually make it to be guide dogs for the blind.

Through Northern Humboldt Eyes for the Blind, puppies are taught obedience and good household behavior. Volunteers of the organization will train the puppies anywhere from eight weeks to a year.
