Is there a guide dog school that trains dogs to run. (self.Blind)
submitted by TurtleKnife
I have been thinking about getting a guide dog. I also love to run. I have heard about this blind guy who was a Marathon runner and has a seeing eye dog that runs with him. And I was wondering where he went to go get his guide dog.

Most dogs aren't going to be able to keep up especially in warm weather as they overheat very easily. Dogs have very poor thermal regulation and are mostly sprinters and pack hunters where the necessary exertion is spread out.
Guide Dogs for the Blind has trained dogs with specific user requirements but I think you may be looking for something that is not possible. As suggested by the other response, I encourage you to talk with the intake department of the various schools.

This is the school. Why not contact them as they are likely to be most skilled in the matter.
