[nagdu] Puppy raising and going out in public

[Sherry Gomes]

I know GDB has some restrictions on where the pups can go until they've had
their four-month shots. My dog's raiser for instance, works at a veterinary
office and she can't take guide dog puppies to work with her until the pup
has had the four-month shots. I'm not sure what other restrictions they have
until that point.

Hi Danielle.
Was the puppy housebroken when your sister got her?  I would think that
would be a first requirement for going into public.  Or was it an outdoor
graduation?  I think my friend meant going into stores and such.
On the other hand, I'm sure my friend's puppy has been housebroken for quite
a while.  Perhaps they're aiming for a certain maturity as well?
Or, like my own puppy, I may have hold of the wrong end of the stick.
Tracy

This is certainly interesting. My sister got the puppy jacket the day she
brought the puppy home. She started taking her in public places almost
immediately. In fact, The puppy went to my graduation the day after she came
home. Of course, she can only handle short trips since she is four months
old.
