Guide Dogs Australia trains Labrador puppies from eight weeks old to become working guide dogs through a 14-month programme. Volunteer puppy raisers provide 24/7 care in their homes, teaching basic obedience, house manners and socialisation skills before the dogs return for formal assessment. The organisation actively recruits puppy raisers through their website guidedogs.com.au, offering volunteers the opportunity to help train future assistance dogs.
