How Puppies Train To Be Guide Dogs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2018
- For 70 years, the Guide Dog Foundation has been training puppies to be guide dogs for the blind and visually impaired. At a young age, the dogs are introduced to their harness so it becomes a familiar and fun object. About half the dogs that go through the training program become guide dogs. The foundation's main concern is making sure the dog is happy and ready for their lifelong career.

The dogs have career options...man i barely have career options 😁
....guide human
I'm so sorry to hear that. But I'm also laughing my ass off.
I was so glad they said that
Do you want to be a guide human..?
Well you could become a pet human
The thing that makes me most happy with service dogs is that they actually enjoy and want to be training and working. These pups are never forced into this, and when they retire they actually become very sad. Sometimes I think service dogs are treated better than some family dogs.
I agree! I have a dog with my family and we take her out for walks almost everyday, sometimes even twice a day. I agree that service dogs are sometimes treated better than family dogs because some families don't know how to raise a dog, so the dogs and up getting mistreated or hardly fed. But that's not with all families tho. Growing up, I had 8 Dogs, some were old, some were pups, but I loved them all equally. They were all from an animal shelter. One dog I had, named Ruben, came from owners who chained him to a small chain around his neck all day and all night. He was chained with another dog who always tried to attack ruben. They never fed any of them, but the animal rescue ended up finding both of them. Ruben went with me, and the other dog was suffering really bad wounds and they think he was rabid. Good thing he didn't bite Ruben!!
How are you going to say they aren’t forced into it 😂 They’re literally forced into it as a puppy
Cee Vee All dogs have a job to do and love to work. These dogs just have a very specific job. Just because the average dog owner doesn’t allow the dog reach their full potential doesn’t mean these dogs were forced into anything. They get to choose to continue on with this work or just be a very well behaved, well socialized part of a family. All dogs should have this kind of structure in their lives. It’s no wonder so many people have behavioral issues with their dogs.
@@CVega3 They are retired if they show signs of not liking their job anymore. Usually they are retired at around 7 years, but sometimes it can be as short as a few months.
@@CVega3 they aren't, puppies who show interest in it continue the program, puppies who don't are adopted. Simple
I dont know if I should feel bad for laughing at that puppy who fell from the stairs
Rotem Afik
Bamboozled?
I laughed bc it was too cute lol
I hollered
It’s cute tho 😂
I went Oof and started laughing
Well first, they must be good boys
Guys he means no harm he does it for fun.....
Helllloooooo ;)))))
Justin Y. good *bois*
Noooooo you again
What about GIRLS!
when the puppy vest says "future assistant dog" so cute 😭
Since the trainers take them out, they have to wear those for proper training. They aren’t supposed to have people run up to them with free treats and scratches for not doing a deed, which would take their focus away. Still, it disappoints me when people still run up to them and do that without permission.
@@caturdaygirl1683 ikr. I've had that happen to mine regardless of all the patches on his vest🙄😒
Blessing And service pups it really sucks that people just disregard the vest
I have two failed guide dogs that my mum took home from her work as a trainer. One was scared of cars and the other of automatic doors 🤷🏻♀️
They're not failures, they're just better at not being guide dogs
@@Spreehox They didn't say that they were failures, just that they had failed at that.
Yeah, lots of guide dogs wash. You need major expertise and the right dog for the job.
i would love to own a guide dog who didn't graduate. 😂 apart from them being scared of cars and dogs. are they still super well trained?
I hope you returned them, they came defected 💁🏻♀️
"Oh, I have a job, I'm working!" *puppy chews shoelaces*
I can't even get my puppy to pee on a puppy pad 😂
im here haha the dogs are even trained to do their business on command!!
Im too lazy to even open the door for mine but I deal with it
Thats why you start at the very beginning
put the pup on the pad and show them a treat
if they stay
give them a treat ^^
if you want a dog to learn something
give them treats
they'll surely do it cause theres a reward for doing it
Zal M. Starling that or some dogs are more toy motivated than food motivated
Me:
Guide Dog:
Me: *internal pterodactyl screech because I know I can’t pet them*
Sophie Len Me though like I obviously would never pet a service dog in service because that’s basic respect but WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE! Like yes dude help that owner live a better life!
As a service dog handler I can tell you not all people do that internally :p It's hilarious at times what kind of noises people make when seeing me and my boy.
It’s so true! I’m very hands on, and I love dogs, but I know I can’t pet them because they’re at work!
Lies Vandenplas and when people straight up say it out loud... “AWW HES SO CHTE BUT I KNOW I CANT PET HIM!”
😂😂😂😂
This literally had me smiling😁 they're so cute💘❤💕

Same me to😍😢
My dog hasn't passed his good boy class yet... I told him to take his time :)
Good luck to him!!
My dads blind! I just thought I would tell everyone! Your welcome!
My profile picture is his Guide Dog Otto.
Otto is so cute!! Hope all goes well for your dad!!
Your dad's guide dog is adorable!
Freya Heslop awwww he’s so cute!!! 😍😍
That's beautiful.
Otto looks very cute
So puppies have a purpose and I don't?
GIGI HADID you could be a trainer ?
Lmfaoo
LMAO
Those puppy standard poodles though 😍
So glad they didn't dock any of their tails and it's all natural. 😊
Ellie Lannister I think because most people who end up needing a service dog/guide dog can’t really clean up fur so hypoallergenic is way easier on them.
Looked like a doodle to me
Ellie Lannister I think it’s a golden doodle or a doodle dog not a standard poodle not too sure though
Hey there. GDF, the organization that trains these pups, only uses standard poodles, no doodles. Guide dog schools have tried to use doodles in the past, but a lot of the time they end up shedding, and their temperaments are not as predictable as a purebred poodle. :) So they stick with the standards.
I think those were labradoodles! Hard to say though.
Kindest creatures ever! We've benefitted so much from them; from being our companion in life, to serving in battlefields and the policeforce and then to being a guide for the blind too.😭
They do alot more then just those three things! Guide dogs are in a category of dogs called assistance dogs (or service dogs). There are so many kinds of assistance dogs, some help veterans with PTSD from war and others help children with autism! It would take forever to list all the jobs these animals do (search and rescue, hunting, babysitting, the list goes on)!
Now I can tell my dog, “get a job”
😂
😂
I WANT THIS JOB. PLEASE HIRE ME. PLEASEEEEE
I'M A DOG WOOF WOOF HIRE MEH I WANNA BE A GUIDE DOG lol
Puppy Butterfly Girl! But what are you?? A puppy or butterfly??
@@niko-oy1cq or neither cause now we are looking for vests😂🖤
You can volunteer to be a guide dog trainer at many non-profits, such as Canine Partners for Life
Thier school is better than mine...
Same
Obviously, you can’t spell their.
Damn. I see why
Tobby's Hell Hole You just got woooshed
@@ev4728 cringe 🤢
I’ve had a service dog for almost 8 years now, she is amazing and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. She helps me every day and I must say how upsetting it is to even think about her retiring and passing away. She’s almost at that age in my country where dogs retire and I unfortunately won’t be able to keep her nor do I have people I can rehome to that I personally know. She is a part of me. I’m saying this because, if you’re looking into adopting a dog etc, please even if it’s just for a second think of becoming someone who will rehome a service dog. It can be hard and I know people love puppies, I also know people love rescuing but I don’t see much on that side with service/guide/assistance dogs etc etc. It literally is so rewarding. I’ve had a previous dog, I dint have for very long due to my condition before I was placed with my lovelie now, but he was quite old and was rehome quickly. I was so happy when he was rehome to be told that I could visit him, I visited him once a month since I lived 4 hours away, and the lovely people even allowed me to be there and hold him when he was put down due to cancer. It’s HONESTLY one of the most kind hearted things you can do, I was so grateful for such wonderful people and they still amaze me today, continuing the rehome process. Some are placed into actually facilities but you can find them anywhere. It’s wonderful to see when I see even one person even mentioning wanting to go into either becoming a trainer or wanting to rehome even wanting to know more about these wonderful creatures in general.
I've seen a handicapped person with such a dog, only for a few seconds, but I was impressed by that dog; it was fully committed to his owner. Had never seen a more thoughtful and dedicated creature in my life!
This was so touching. I cried, too. I'm glad to know they do a reward based program rather than correction based, too. It makes dogs want to help instead of afraid to mess up.
You can't train a guide dog using correction based training. The dog must want to do the job. You have to have a confident, brave, and loyal loving dog to guide a person.
'We have different career options'. Damn doggos have more employment opportunities than most people
-where do you work?
- I train puppies to be guide dogs
-That’s no job, that’s paradise and lots of love
Guide dogs:slides in to harness
My dog: *runs away from me*
Me: .....
The secret is treats. Hold some sausage in your hand, and you'll see who's a good boy
All this hard work, and people fake it with their own dogs
Did u draw ur profile pic
Most the time the fakes aren't even good on leashes and will lunge at everything and everyone
It's so annoying and rude if people come into a store with a fake service dog! It makes real handlers look so bad. The most annoying part often is that they will start to tell lies to managers and stuff, thus giving them a wrong view on real service dogs and so not letting real handlers in. I absolutely hate it when I get denied access because a store manager is wrongly informed. (I have a seizure alert service dog)
@@liesvandenplas8066 I have one of those too. I run into this problem ALL the time. Smh
we have a lady who comes into my store and she has a small dog that tries to bite people. if shes approached on the dogs behavior she gets really mad and defensive. I get wanting to take your pet out in public but theirs a line that shouldn't be crossed, especially if your pet is aggressive!
OMG these puppies in harnesses ar SO CUTE. When I was an intern at the hospital there was a patient with a service and it was so HARD to resist petting him 😭 he even put his head on my lap because I was ignoring him because I knew I should not distract him. But when the treatment was done the patient took of his harness and he came running up to me and we were cuddling while my internship mentor was scheduling the next appointment with the patient 😊 one of the most fun days at the hospital EVER.
Loes K the service dog should not be putting its head on your lap. It needs to be trained better.
I would hate to be blind. I would never see such cuteness
Mlarp being blind you learn to see with your hands! Not the same experience but they're both valid i think :)
I would hate to be blind and try to learn something from this video.
Lol how ignorant 😂😂😂
Cuteness can be felt, heard.
Mlarp that was a little insensitive
That blind lady is so Nice!!! God bless her
Free? God bless em. That's unheard of now a days. To put in so much time and hard work and the pay off is to help someone. Selfless and heartwarming. I love this!!
I kept rewatching 1:35 and laughing
Spoonful of Suga hi ARMY
WASTED
Spoonful of Suga
Armyy
Aww
Spoonful of Suga armyyyy
This is so heart warming and mutual to me, the first day I started with my guide dog I was unsure, but once I learned how safe and at ease it made me feel we began to grow an unbreakable bond. To this day (6 years later on 9/12) we still work as a team and I have had more confidence knowing she's there to protect me in ways I can't myself is just astonishing.
I am a simple hooman, I see puppies, I click.
Aww
No
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM CRYING ALL THE GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS ARE SO PERFECT AND THEY JUST WANNA DO THEIR JOBS AND THEIR TREATED SO WELL OML THEIR ADORABLE
the 32 people who dislike this video about very good boys are going to hell
The 32 dislikes are cats that are jealous that they don't have much use.
Poopity Scoop wait you’ve never seen a police cat??
@@jimbojimbus what is that
That teeny tiny harness is my favorite part lol
Absolutely amazing the way these dogs are trained to be someone’s eyes for them. Kudos to the trainers. Dogs are the best.
I like that they let the dog choose if he/she want to be a working dog or a pet
It's pretty much impossible to force a dog to work when they don't want to, if they don't enjoy it at all they simply don't perform.
i love this woman! shes so sweet! im so happy for her
Being a puppy raiser is the best thing I’ve ever decided to do in my life! I’m only on my first dog, but I know she is going to make a huge difference for someone!!! (Even if she picks Pet as her career)
I thought the title said: "How Puppies train to be Cute Dogs"
They all already have that talent
How could you give this video a thumbs down??!!?
A blind person wanting to train a pup.
Some people find having an SD abusive
@Tobby ._. They can actually, but more so as ESA than SA. They can alert their owners to certain changes in levels of whatever is affecting their owners, it's just by law they can't be placed on planes due to allergies of others and seen as untrainable, so trying to get a service cat won't be possible unless you are homebound.
@*Gasp yes that is what I said exactly, yes some states, though they still wont be fully protected under law they may be allowed to train as service animal and be seen as one they aren't fully allowed in certain settings. Though some states fully allow and protect them, the lines may still be blurred. ADA does not fully classify them as service animals in the term, only dogs, so most federal laws only classifies dogs aswell and protect them.
Girl imma ugly cry too I’m so proud of them😭😭❤️
Has anyone else's owner called then hoozagoodboy???
The owners dont choose the names
@@ended_ellipsis Some do, they just integrate the new name into training
This is how children should be taught
Omg these puppies in these tiny harnests are really cute!
These dogs with their beautiful, caring, lovely, compassionate souls.
It must be hard for the owner when these dogs eventually pass away because the bond they have is so strong
Dogs are just wonderful. But these service dogs are just exceptional- They dedicate their lives to provide humans with the freedom and ability to do or go places they otherwise can not or have a harder time to do by themselves. They deserve respect, and a wonderful retirement life!!! Thank you dogs
I see lots of guide dogs lying on the floor with elderly people in a grocery store, and they can be rather tight, you pass by with your foot almost right next to them and they don't even flinch such good doggos
It broke my heart when the puppy fell down the stairs
Makeup With Ava same i wanted to cry
Oop- I laughed..
2:15 so precious
I love how the dogs are so happy and always wag their tails
Now remember, this isn't how every company does the same thing, they could do different things depending on how they run things
This is why I have a guide dog mum as my dog in England 😊
You get pet dog,that has puppies that could be future guide dogs etc!
Bless these people and their foundation. Bless the spirit of everyone they touch (as clients or just inspiring.) God bless all our spirits. Thanks be to God!
Yay! Both of my guides were from GDF! Great organization! Please support them!
I have seen where they train Leader Dogs in Rochester Michigan and it was a great experience, it was amazing seeing this video and seeing more of the process for their training!
The bond is indescribable!!! Dog is creature, who love selfless and extremely loyal!!! I can't imagine my life without them! They deserve lot more place on this planet 🌸
This is so amazing.. Dogs helping people that need that support and guidance.. Its so beautiful.. 💟💟
Dogs are such an amazing pets
Doggo in training!
I love them! My college has a Service Dog club and we love working with them so much. All of the dogs are the best
I raised a Guide Dog. It was an awesome experience. It truly is amazing how much the puppy/dog learns in their first year of life. I was honoured to be a part of it.
Cuteness overload 😭😢❤
literally though the title was “How puppers train to be good dogs.” for a second
Absolutely beautiful organisation. The freedom these dogs give is amazing
This is so sweet. The bond between human and canine truly is indescribable. 😍
This is a great video!!! Love it so much ❤️
But the end is so inspiring!
I think guide dogs are a blessing, they enjoy the company and humans enjoy their company as well. It's just a beautiful relationship
This is the sweetest thing I have ever seen
puppies: *fall over*
me: 💗💕💖
LOOK AT ALL THOSE SWEETIES ❤️❤️❤️
heart.... melting..... cant... take .... anymore!
Amazing too see how much difference a guide dog can make too someone’s life ❤️🐾❤️🐾
Awwwww cute pupies
the only reason i clicked this video is because of the cute puppy on the thumbnail 🤣
This is why I love Insider
So amizing. Bless them.
I need that.
Sorry i mean so cute
Its amazing how dogs can be heros too and help people who cant see. Its just amazing.
such sweet puppies...i can’t get over how cute they are.
*Molly Burke has entered the chat*
Yesss
Too many people that don't need a SD claim to have them. I have an ESA and I know she is not a SD so she stays home. I don't want her hurting a SD or causing any trouble.
Theresa Welker thank you. I have a service dog and I hate when people bring their pets into stores and they lunge at my service dog I've had some growl at her while she just stands there looking at me
That is just the most cuteable thing ever.
I'm crying those puppies are so CUTE
This is the cutest shit I've ever seen 😭
I dont know why but this made me tear up 😂
These dogs are committed and dedicated to this job since they were born! 👍
i have a little Goldendoodle puppy (the breed in the 3rd clip) and they’re the most lovable and most well-behaved dogs ever

I was like "come on baby come to mamaa "
SOOO CUTEEE 😂😂❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
maaaan dogs are so pure 💙
my sister is adopting a retiring guide dog and im so so excited to meet the good boy!
Boi you think I haven’t been watching puppy prep
I know the dog is working and I'll never even ask to or touch the pet because i know they'll get distracted !!! But omg they're all so hecking cute
Service dogs and guide dogs are NOT pets.
it is so glad to see humans and dogs working together to help other humans. they never do it in a cruel way, they help make it fun and interesting for them. :)
Beautiful program! Thank you 🙏🏼
