Our training is entirely one on one; it is not based on a prescriptive group or set training approach. This clearly underpins our belief in putting the client first.

Mission

The mission of Seeing Eye Dogs, a division of Vision Australia is:

On this episode of Seeing Eye Dogs Show we're got two timeless repeats- it’s been a busy few months at SED, but these are still relevant and we think you'll enjoy.

We’ve got two vet interviews with Dr Ashe Mooney of SVT, about heatstroke what it is, the signs and how to prevent it, and about hot pavement skin care and looking after your pups’ paws.

Then I have a volunteer story with Anja Schaefer who’s going to talk to us about her two roles caring for dogs in formal training, and in our puppy block facility on site in Kensington Victoria. We’re looking for lots of types of carers currently including training dog carers local to SED Kensington site, in the Belgrave and Ringwood areas and Gosford region of NSW. Head to the training dog care page of our website to find out about training dog care.

On this episode Seeing Eye Dogs Show, Harriet is joined by two guests.

Seeing Eye Dogs handler Lucia Corradi talks about her new partnership with Seeing Eye Dog Luna and their adventures, both accomplished and planned. We also discuss transitioning to a new Seeing Eye Dog, and life for Lucia's newly retired Seeing Eye Dog Aura. The active duo of Lucia and Luna are set to take on Trek for Vision in 2025 so we chat a bit about their prep for that. 

Then I’m joined by SED’s advisor of strategy and change Paul Adrian talking to us about some myths about becoming a handler, the New South Wales roadshow event and an update on client services in NSW.

The NSW Roadshow will be held on the week of November 25 across four dates from 10.30am-1pm each day at Vision Australia’s offices at Ashfield on November 25,  at Caringbah on the 26th, Epping on the 27th  and Parramatta on the 28th. These events are open to all and free to attend email us now at SEDClients@visionaustralia.org to secure your spot or head to the NSW Roadshow article on SED website for more info.

Our friendly team are on board to help people who are blind or have low vision with their goals through dog guide mobility, and if you’ve considered becoming a handler with us, we’re happy to chat about your needs. You can email us at info@sed.org.au or call on 1800 037 773 to chat about dog guide mobility, eligibility or assessment.

On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, Harriet is joined by Cassandra Chiu co-founder and executive director of K9 Assistance in Singapore. Cassandra joined us on the show back in December 2023, almost a year later K9 Assistance has some exciting updates to share on progress in changing legislation in Singapore to grant public access for assistance dogs. We also chat about their ambassador dog, career-changed Seeing Eye Dog Sienna who had an important role in demonstrating the skills of assistance dogs.

At the time of the interview, Cassandra was in Melbourne completing her training with new Seeing Eye Dog Mandy, so we talk about their experiences on class with SED Mandy and the start of their partnership.

To finish off we have an interview with Dr Ashe Mooney sharing some vet tips and information on lumps for dogs. What you might be feeling for, what they might mean and how to work with your vet to diagnose and treat.
