128. GUIDE DOG TRAINING, part 2: come train with cass & mr. a!


Listen Later

hi hello hey, welcome back to part TWO of our guide dog training extravaganza!

We couldn’t make you wait a full two weeks for the next chapter of this story, so we’re releasing part two right away! It’s time to spill all the tea on our new favorite dude, Mr. A.

If you missed part 1 (where we revealed Mr. A!), be sure to go back and catch up before diving in. In this final installment of Cass’ time at Guide Dogs for the Blind, we take you inside what two weeks of training are really like. We talk about what it’s like working with a new guide, what teams do during training, and share even more real-time voice memos from Cass with stories about Mr. A.

We also cover meeting Mr. A’s incredible puppy raisers, the emotional graduation day, and shout out the amazing people who make the Guide Dogs experience so special.

Want to see graduation for yourself? You can watch the California Class 1034 graduation on YouTube (embedded below)! Skip to the 41:00 mark to hear Cass wax poetic about her new partner—but grab some tissues first!

We’ll be back next week with our regularly scheduled Rare with Flair episodes and will return to our biweekly release schedule after that.
