IWD Special: Handler Story Nicole & Trixie, Mikaela Client Services & Roadshow

For our 2025 International Women's Day special, Harriet is joined by two guests:

Seeing Eye Dogs mobility instructor Mikaela Smith joins to chat about client services in New South Wales and Canberra and about the upcoming NSW ACT Roadshow. We talk about the support and process instructors work through with the client from assessment, training with the dog, throughout the team's career and up to retirement.

Handler Nicole Tillotson joins us to share her story and about her life with Seeing Eye Dog Trixie. She shares about her active hobbies, her work as a chaplain and travels with her dog. We also talk about International Women's Day and what that means to Nicole.
