On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show host Harriet is joined by Seeing Eye Dogs Training Program Manager Kylie Gersh to give us some behind the scenes information about In For Training assessments at Seeing Eye Dogs.

What happens when the puppies come in ready for the next stage of their journey? Have you ever wondered how puppies are assessed for suitability at 12 months of age? How does the training team identify dogs who will make the best guides, and decide which dogs are better suited to the pet life or another working role? Join us for this interview where Kylie will chat about some of the qualities we look for, identifying aptitude and potential, and why we might career-change a dog for the welfare and wellbeing of the dog and safety of our clients.
