Seeing eye dogs are trained from birth. They are kept at a breeding kennel, and staff socialize them with their litter until they are 8 weeks old. At this time they are tested for guide dog traits, and those puppies that pass are sent to puppy raisers. The puppy raisers teach their puppy excellent house manners, basic obedience, and expose the puppies to new situations, including taking puppies over 12 months into stores. At around 18 months, these puppies are returned to the organization they came from (ex. Seeing Eyes for the Blind, or Guiding Eyes for the Blind.), and they are then tested again. This is to test their abiblity to be a guide dog, if they pass, they undergo around 2-4 months of training with staff from that organization, and later with their blind partner. These 2-4 months teach the dog to go around obstacles without being told, and to not cross a street if a car is coming.
Though it is a lot of work to train seeing eye puppies, it is well worth it, and I'm going to be proud of my little puppy in 16 months when she goes in for training.
