Service dog shortage has people training their own Guide Dogs

[Catherine]

Your friend's daughter must be really good with dogs. I have watched documentaries about training guide dogs. It is a lot of work and it takes time.
It is sad that there are never enough dogs for the people who need them. I suppose that there is not enough money, not enough qualified trainers and not enough suitable dogs. 

That would be such a satisfying job. A good guide dog can transform someone's life.


People are desperate enough to try and train their own dogs.
It would be better if we could somehow train more dogs.
