The Seeing Eye, Inc. is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1929 in Nashville, Tennessee with the mission of enhancing the independence, dignity, and self-confidence of people who are blind, through the use of specially trained Seeing Eye dogs. The first class of guide dog handlers graduated from The Seeing Eye in February 1929, marking a historic moment in the organization's journey to empower individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The rigorous training program includes physical and psychological evaluations for both the dog and the human partner, and the support of professional trainers, veterinarians, and behaviorists. Throughout its history, The Seeing Eye has trained and placed thousands of guide dogs, inspiring the creation of similar programs around the world and continuing to be a leader in the field of guide dog training.
Training a new dog isn't always a walk in the park. Angry shouting is a common coping mechanism for pet owners who are feeling overwhelmed by the potential for mishaps and property damage while interacting with a new puppy or an untrained dog. Light punishment, often thought to be a harmless training practice, is now shown to have lasting effects on our pets. Wait a second to decide how you'll respond before yelling at your dog.
