Hello Lisa and all,
I live in Slovakia (Central Europe) and the guide dog training here is pretty similar like in Germany in some ways.
Firstly, the health insurance, or better to say government organization pay for guide dogs and other aids for us, blind people and people with other disabilities.
As for training, we have two guide dog schools here in Slovakia, but we do home training only which takes about two weeks. In case there are some issues after training, we can always contact the trainer and ask for help.
The school I have my guide from organizes meetups for guide dog handlers three times a year, where people waiting for their guide meet their potential guide dog partners and see them during their training.
As for ownership, we get ful ownership once training is finished.
If you have some more questions, just feel free to ask.
With regards
Maria
