Review for Southeastern Guide Dogs, Inc. DBA Dogs Inc, Palmetto, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a guide dog user myself, I can honestly say that Southeastern Guide Dogs is one of the finist traning facilities in the USA. The entire staff work hard to see to it that not only do the dogs get the best training and treatment afforded but that the students and graduates are their number one concern. The grounds are set up to train for every situation and the students go through a series of different sceniros in order to assure that they can handle anything they come across in the real world working with their guide dog as a team. The school has people there to help even before you start your training to counsel you on what you need to do in order to obtain a guide dog, how to do it, and what is involved. Then once you have graduated they have a team of GAC (Graduate Advisory Council) that is there 24/7/365 to assist with any problems or questions you may have. I would have to say this is the number one school for anyone looking to get a guide dog and proud to say that I am a graduate myself.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I am a graduate from this school in June 2007 and have been a guide dog user for several years now. I also serve on the GAC and look forward to doing more for them in the future.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

More PR, newspaper and club interviews and speakings. Bring in the public around the area and do a annual showing of the facilities and how the training is done and how the students live and learn on campus.

Role:  Client Served & I have been interviewed by several Newspapers, clubs and TV News Channels about the benefits of Guide Dogs and the Southeastern Guide Dogs school.
