What are the qualifications for getting a seeing-eye dog (self.Blind)

Most schools in the US require a doctor to complete a medical form (show that you have vision problems), and a minimum level of independent travel skills. For the latter criteria, they will often send out a representative to observe you during a walk. At least one school, as I remember, requires that you send in a video of yourself walking instead of sending someone out, but that information may be dated or incorrect, so don't quote me on it.

It also depends on what school you're applying to. I'm flying up Monday to Seeing Eye to get my very first guide dog. For me they sent out a representative to evaluate my mobility skills. Seeing that I was independent enough, he said I was clear to apply.

That's going to depend a little on what country you're in. Mind sharing?
