On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, we've got a handler story in recognition of International Guide Dog Day (IGDD) on April 24. This is part 2 of our IGDD special, you can find part 1 available as a podcast on your preferred podcast platform.

We couldn’t just do one story for International Guide Dog Day so we're joined by Damo McMorrow who is a Seeing Eye Dogs handler as well as National Access Technology Manager at Vision Australia. We’re going to be talking about his story as a handler and his experience transitioning to his new Seeing Eye Dog. We’re going to talk about his new partnership with Jenna as well as life with two Seeing Eye Dogs in the house. Damo also talks about the client training experience and gives some tips new dog guide handlers should listen to.

You can stream Damo's previous interview on this show talking about using technology as a dog guide handler on your podcast platform.

If you're blind or have low vision and are interested in finding out about getting a Seeing Eye Dog, please phone us on 1800 03 77 73 or (03) 9381 6400 or email info@sed.org.au for an obligation free discussion with our friendly team about your circumstances.
