What is a career changed dog?
When a dog is not able to serve as a Leader Dog, we refer to that dog as “career changed.” Most times these are wonderful dogs that make terrific pets but are not well-suited to be guide dogs. Oftentimes these dogs are not able to pass the scrutiny of our medical exams or personality assessments. Some dogs just don’t have the desire to work in this way or are too interested in squirrels, for example.
