Did you know? Our Guide Dogs are taught lots of very specific tasks that assist with their handler's mobility. Here, Nina demonstrates two tasks with her trainer – ‘find the chair’ and ‘under’.

Watch a future Guide Dog in training! 🦮💛 Every Guide Dog’s journey begins with moments like this: early harness lessons, tiny steps, and big bursts of confidence. Across Queensland, over 70 dogs are in training right now, learning the skills that will one day give someone with low vision or blindness the independence to move safely and freely. It costs more than $50,000 to breed, raise and train each dog, and none of this life-changing work is possible without urgent community support. Your do

Rosie is stepping up her skills with a wagging tail and plenty of determination. 🐾 At this stage of her training, it is important each session is fun and positive, with increased support for more advanced movements. Rosie is also working on straight road crossings and focusing on her skills in environments full of distracting smells, people, animals, and noises. Rosie loves an opportunity to show off the skills she has learnt such as finding doors, finding a chair, and kerb stops for orientatio
