Your decision to become a guide dog user is one that you, and you alone, can make.  A Guiding Eyes dog will give you the ability to travel independently and safely. To be a successful Guiding Eyes graduate, you must be able to trust your dog, trust your ability to communicate with your dog, and be able to take care of your dog just as you take care of yourself.

Once you’ve decided to apply to Guiding Eyes and have been accepted, you’ll find a welcoming family of expert, patient, and supportive instructors who are dedicated to your success.”

“Guiding Eyes for the Blind is a wonderful school where there is a true sense of family comfort. The instructors are patient and provide invaluable training and care. I will not only take a wonderful dog, but happy memories home with me to Israel.”

- Gracia Ben-Moyal, 2007
