Puppy walking is the term we use to describe the vital process of preparing puppies for their future career as a guide dog or an assistant dog for children with autism.

Walkers are individuals or families, in Dublin, who agree to take a pup into their home for a period of approximately 12 months, to rear, socialise and educate it in all aspects of everyday life. The role involves house-training, grooming and basic obedience exercises.

A variety of practical workshops are organised for Puppy Walkers to aid their knowledge and assist them with dog handling skills. All verterinary fees and feeding costs are covered by Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, and the puppy’s progress is monitored by regular visits from a Supervisor.

Puppy walking is a great experience for those who have never had a dog before or those who would like a second dog.

Please call 0872663574 for more information on becoming a puppywalker and making a life changing difference in someones life.
