Okay, when you say, "guide dogs" that typically refers to a specific school 
called, "guide Dogs for the Blind" located in California and Oregon.  There 
are a number of guide dog programs in the U.S. maybe 15 or so.
There are a handful of very small organizations that I have heard of or seen 
advertising that say they train guide dogs.  I can't even remember the names 
of most of these.  I have no knowledge of the quality of the guide dogs or 
their training.  If you go through one of these, I'd do some quadruple 
checking.

There are also private trainers that will train a guide for you.  These are 
rare and generally expensive.

To the best of my knowledge places like CCI and Paws with a Cause do not 
train guide dogs.

To the best of my knowledge Leader Dogs is the only guide dog program that 
offers a white cane mobility course.  Generally if you want white cane 
training you would go through a state agency or if you are looking for an 
all inclusive program one of the NFB centers might be an option.

If you could explain what your needs are or what you are specifically 
looking for I would be able to give more specific recommendations or places 
to go for more information.
