Guide dog puppies enjoy ‘school trip’ to Birmingham’s National Sea Life Centre
A group of guide dog puppies from The Midlands have been exploring under the sea at Birmingham’s National Sea Life Centre.
The six guide dog puppies, JJ, Isha, Harvey, Harris, Oak and Kevin, each aged between four and 11 months, are being trained to be life-changing guides, by sight loss charity Guide Dogs.
They were invited to the centre to help support their socialisation training, and enjoyed walking through the exhibits and navigating the 360 degree Ocean Tunnel.
Each pup was accompanied by their volunteer Puppy Raiser, who looks after them until they are just over a year old, before they move to a Guide Dogs’ centre to start their formal training.
Volunteer Puppy Raisers for the charity provide puppies with vital foundations for their future role, teaching them basic commands and helping them get used to different environments.
