The final step in becoming a Guide Dog is Assessment and Training. After 12mths a Puppy is given back to Guide Dogs in order to asses if the puppy is suitable to become a working Guide or perhaps needs a career change. This change can be anything from a Therapy Dog, to an Assistance dog to some who just prefer to be loved as family pets. No one fails and everyone finds the right path for them.
