About this listen

 Join Ben Shaberman with Jeanyne Gembarski, Region Puppy Instructor in the Puppy Raising Program, and Annemarie Seifert, volunteer Puppy Raiser, both from Guiding Eyes for the Blind, as they take you behind the scenes of raising and training guide dogs. They walk through the two-year journey from puppy raising to guide dog graduation, sharing what it takes to care for, bond with, and build trust with these extraordinary animals. Jeanyne and Annemarie discuss daily responsibilities, challenges, and surprises and share memorable stories from their experiences. Discover how anyone, even without prior dog experience, can become a puppy raiser and support the development of future guide dogs. This is Part 1 of our two-part guide dog series—stay tuned for Part 2!
