Good Luck to FLASH and his trainer Jon! Our
first Goldendoodle puppy hoping to pass the
program! Jon has decided to follow the Pilot
Dogs, Inc. Motto to open his heart for closed
eyes! Before receiving Flash from the Pilot
Program a Puppy Raiser application and
agreement had to be filled out and excepted.
Once the paperwork had been filed The
Pilot Program provided a choker chain, a leash
and training manuals for Flash. In return Jon will
provide a loving home environment. Flash will be
exposed to many different situations to further
socialize him to becoming a Pilot Dog. Jon will
also housebreak and enroll Flash into a formal
obedience class. When the puppy is
approximately 12 - 14 months, Flash will be
returned to the Pilot Program for the extensive
training as a Guide Dog. We wish both Jon and
Flash the best of luck!

problems or
being returned for not
passing. Dogs which are accepted for Pilot
Guide
Dog training must meet certain standards.
Puppies
must be between 14 - 30 months of age. Their
height to be between 22" and 24"

registered but
he/she must be true to their breed standard.
Dogs
must have a sociable, even disposition. They
must
not be afraid of traffic, loud noises or of people.
Dogs which have been raised in a kennel all their
lives are obviously not able to make the
adjustment
to the life of a guide dog. Dogs should be well
socialized raised in a home and has become
accustomed to family life and to children,
strangers,
automobiles and is housebroken. Females are
preferred (50 - 60 lbs.). Only one out of 6 dogs
make the grade!
