After graduation

After graduation, the Guide Dogs team look at each dog’s strengths and characteristics to find the right person to match them to. We also learn more about the Client’s lifestyle, preferred walking speed, and how frequently they travel or enjoy social activities so that we can find a Guide Dog that perfectly meets the Client’s needs.
