FUNdamentals: Pups 2 to 5 Months of Age

A baby Golden Retriever guide dog puppy.

What Do I Do First?

When you first bring home a brand new guide dog puppy, the journey from rolly-polly shark to upstanding member of society can seem a bit daunting!

To set our puppies up for success, we start by focusing on: 

  • Settling in your home 
  • Potty training 
  • A solid foundation of positive experiences for a lifetime of confidence, resilience, and love of learning!
