On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, Harriet is joined by special guest Dr Chris Muldoon joins us to talk about his thesis and research about the emotions of dog guide handlers: ‘The emotions and feelings experienced by guide dog owners in the application, training and working of their guide dogs.’

in 2022, Chris presented about this work at the Assistance Dogs International conference and now coming on the show we're going to talk about that study and the implications it has for handlers, and the staff working with them and their dog guides and Seeing Eye Dogs.

We are looking for puppy carers now so if you're keen to raise a puppy to hopefully become a Seeing Eye Dog we'd like to hear from you! It's an incredibly rewarding experience, with training provided. Carers need time, patience and love to give to a puppy, so if you want to commit to a year of puppy raising, we would love your help. If you live in the North Brisbane or Sunshine Coast regions of Queensland or in Victoria in Geelong, Bendigo and select areas of metro Melbourne (listed on our Website) get in touch to find out about volunteering with us or apply now via our website.
