List of guide dog schools
A list of notable guide dog schools worldwide.
Guide dogs are assistance dogs trained to lead blind and visually impaired people around obstacles. In the United States, the name "seeing eye dog" is only used in reference to a guide dog from The Seeing Eye in Morristown, New Jersey, which has trademarked the term.[1] Guide Dog schools are accredited by the International Guide Dog Federation.
