Assistance dog puppies

Just curious to know if any/many of you on here are puppy socialisers/walkers/parents with any of the assistance dog charities???

I socialise puppies for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People - extremely rewarding.

Is there a forum for those of us that do? If not would there be interest in one ?

I know Ailsa1 has a Flattie guide dog pup, so hopefully she might be able to help you?

Hello!
I'm a puppy walker for Guide dogs, currently on my third, a flattie called Saturn, who''s lovely!
hearing dogs is a fantastic charity, infact my old puppy walking manager has just gone over to the other side, if you like and has taken up a job with them! They do amazing jobs!
There isn't a seperate forum on here, no. have to say though, even if there was, I'd nip in and out of it,but so many things about puppy walking are just the same as having a pet pup that I'm not sure there's a need. I've also got my own 2 old guys so I chat about them and ask for people's help and advice on the main forums. They're a good lot on here and put up with my chats about the pups so nicely!!!!
As I say, I'd happily participate on an assistance dogs forum ( i'm a member of other puppy walking groups as well on other sites) but people on here are great and a lot of the stuff is still relevant.

How long do you have the pups for with hearing dogs? Is it a year or so like guide dogs? I think I read it was a shorter time?? Feel free to PM me...and welcome ( if i've not said it already!)
