On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show Harriet is joined by two of our excellent returning guests, sharing a topic from the perspective of both young puppies and older dogs. Abi Howes Puppy Development Trainer and Kylie Gersh Training Program Manager and Instructor will be talking about dogs settling both relaxing into new homes and environments and being settled out and about in public. As you may have dogs coming into your home, or bringing your dog to new places over the holiday season, I hope you find these tips helpful. We're going to chat about settling for dogs of all ages and how we can work with our baby 8-week-old dogs, up to adult working Seeing Eye Dogs and support them into new homes or out working.

These are some general tips, if you’re a Seeing Eye Dog handler, don’t forget you can reach out to your instructor, or to the team by emailing SEDclients@visionaustralia.org for training support! If you’re a volunteer carer with us please reach our to your staff contact for assistance. Please note staff will be on leave between December 20, 2024 and January 6, 2025, so please bear with us and the team will be back in action in the new year.
