When summer sunshine means no puddles in sight, we make our own. ☔🐾 Our trainers use positive reinforcement to help future guide dogs feel confident walking through water. By gradually introducing the sensation, from a dry tray, to a splash, to a full puddle, each step is marked and rewarded to build trust and confidence. Even without rain, we can prepare them for whatever the weather brings. Follow the link in bio to find out more about training ☝️ [Visual description: Video shows a yellow Labrador cross golden retriever with their Guide Dog Mobility Specialist walking up to a large, shallow empty tray, then the tray is filled with water. The trainer uses positive reinforcement each time the Labrador cross golden retriever confidently steps onto the tray. Platforms are then positioned at either end, and the guide dog in training is encouraged to walk across the wet tray before receiving a reward at the far platform.] #GuideDogs #GuideDogsUk #DogTraining #Summer

The moment we’ve all been waiting for… We’re overjoyed to share that the @britishmasters raised an incredible £170,000 in support of Guide Dogs. 🐾 That’s enough to cover the specialist training and care needed for three dogs to go on and change lives as fully qualified guide dogs. We’re so thankful to the British Masters for choosing us as their official charity partner and shining a spotlight on the difference Guide Dogs make every day. A special thank you also goes to @betfred_official for their phenomenal £150,000 donation. And most importantly, thank you to every single person who gave their support. From donations to volunteering with us, you’ve helped us take another step towards supporting people with a visual impairment to live the life they choose. 💛 [Visual Description: On the golf course, Guide Dogs staff members stand proudly alongside Sir Nick Faldo, CEO of Guide Dogs, Andrew Lennox, and others as they hold a cheque for £150,000.
