Can a Guide Dog puppy accompany the puppy raiser to places other than group meetings or the veterinarians office?
Yes. A Guide Dog puppy should be exposed to a variety of socialization experiences. Puppy raisers take their pups to malls, grocery stores, school and work, among other places. Many times, the puppy raising group’s regularly scheduled meetings will include outings specifically designed for puppy socialization. The group’s Leader also teaches the raisers appropriate ways in which to expose the puppies to a wide range of socialization experiences.
