Guide Dog Services

At Guide Dogs Tasmania, we provide Guide Dog Mobility Services for Tasmanians who are blind or vision impaired.

Whilst many people will recognise our Guide Dog Puppies and their 'L' Plates, some people may not be aware of what is involved in providing a Guide Dog for a person who is blind or vision impaired. It takes a lot of effort to train every Guide Dog and there are many people that contribute to the success of each Guide Dog trained in Tasmania.

There are five major facets of our Guide Dog Program:

• Breeding
• Puppy Raising
• Guide Dog Assessment and Training
• Matching
• Guide Dog Client Services
