About this opportunity

Puppy raisers expose our puppies to different environments including public transport, shopping centres, steps/stairs, schools etc. Puppy raisers must attend periodic training and obedience classes with Guide Dogs WA trainers in various locations and must use basic obedience skills when handling a dog in care (e.g. sit, down, stay, come etc.).
