About this service

Here are some things that you need to consider before applying.

  1. Do you have sight loss that limits your mobility and are you (or are you willing to be) a CNIB client?
  2. Do you use a white cane to travel a few different routes independently including crossing intersections?
  3. Are you willing to trust your dog and allow them to guide you even if you would have chosen a slightly different path?
  4. Are the people you live with and work with supportive of you getting a guide dog?
  5. Are you ready for the responsibility of caring for a dog? This can include taking them to veterinary checkups, picking up after them, grooming as well as playing with them and providing them with love and attention.
  6. Walking with a guide dog often brings unwanted attention both positive and negative. This can be frustrating when you are in a hurry or you just want to be unnoticed. Are you prepared for this attention?
Who can use it?
