Here are links to all of the policies, procedures, and guidelines that are key to creating a safe and nurturing home environment for a guide dog puppy. 

In addition: 
  • Always keep puppies on leash or otherwise securely confined (crate, tie-down, x-pen):
    • Around moving vehicles
    • In all unfenced/unsecured areas
  • Double check all gates and doors before allowing the puppy off-leash.
