When our guide dog puppies leave their volunteer puppy raisers at around 14 months of age, they’ll then continue their guide dog training at one of our regional centres across the UK. We use our own Standardised Training for Excellent Partnerships (STEP) programme, which uses the principles of positive reinforcement to teach our dogs everything they need to learn to be successful and happy in their lives. In this video, Lucy Michaliszyn, Training and Behaviour Consultant, discusses the fifth step of the journey of a guide dog: training at our regional centres.
