How does the matching process work for a seeing eye dog. (self.Blind)
submitted by [deleted]
Do they match a dog up with you or do you get to chose. Or do they just give you the next one in line. Do you get to pick your breed of dog.

They match you with a dog based on your walking speed, dog handling ability, where you live, etc.

Like u/sonofabutch mentioned they match you to a dog that fits your needs. Schools have more dogs that have finished training and are waiting for their partner so that the school can have some flexibility in making a match that works. One of the two schools I raised for also made sure to split up the litters in for training dates so that they had more variety in personalities and other traits in their pool of ready dogs.

Some schools also allow you to request specific traits (breed, gender, etc.), however this may delay your class time.
