Puppy Handlers

Two people kneel with two guide dog puppies.

Puppy raising volunteers are responsible for ensuring all individuals handling GDB puppies understand and comply with GDB’s Humane Treatment Policy, and the guidelines for puppy care, training, and socialization.

Within a puppy club or hybrid cohort, GDB puppy sitters may be available. Puppy raisers' friends or family members can also help provide care for a GDB puppy when a raiser needs puppy sitting.
