Hello!

The training dog center is associated with the University of Pennsylvania
not Penn State University.

Today's Fresh Air on NPR is about the Penn State Working Dog Center, which
is starting a new training program, mostly for detection and search and
rescue dogs.
They will work on creating better tests to see if a puppy will be
successful, among other things.
They will also be bringing in pups to train and test during the day, then
the pups go home to their foster families at night.
I wonder, if guide dog schools did that, if dogs would be ready sooner, or
dropped earlier, or if a dog needs a certain maturity to become a reliable
guide.
