These guys train guide dogs that can cope with just about anything, from the broad and clean sidewalks of Palm Springs to the overcrowded and cracked sidewalks of Jerusalem. They even cope pretty well with the stray cats that are so prevalent there. Had the time of my life!

I have been meaning to write this for quite some time, but I never got around to it. Several years ago, I was a puppy raiser for a standard poodle for GDD. Keep in mind that I had worked with other guide dog organizations before. When they took my dog away for training the first time, he was returned to me with an untreated skin infection (from laying in a kennel treated with harsh chemicals) and and untreated ear infection in addition to having newly-acquired anxiety. When I tried to talk to GDD about the situation, they came to my house and took the dog away for more "training." Nine months later, they called me and said I could have the dog back because he wasn't fit for a guide dog. When I picked him up, I received a fearful dog who showed dog aggression and he had severe untreated infection from his neutering. When I contacted them to address the situation, they absolutely refused to return my calls and emails. It has been several years, and I have a great dog (with no health issues or dog aggression). There are other reputable guide dog organizations out there ..... use them and do NOT use GDD.
