> Alaska Airlines, in collaboration with Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB), has
> updated their Accessible Travel Services policy to allow service animals in
> training to travel domestically at no cost.
> "GDB is honored to partner with Alaska Airlines and we are thrilled that our
> guide dog puppies in training will now have the ability to practice
> traveling both in the airport and in cabin. This type of exposure helps to
> prepare them for the highest level of service dog work -- becoming a guide
> dog for someone who is blind or visually impaired," said Christine
> Benninger, Guide Dogs for the Blind president and CEO. "We very much
> appreciate Alaska Airlines' ongoing efforts to improve independent travel
> and customer service for all travelers, especially those with
> disabilities."
> Listed are some of the requirements:
> -Travel is wholly within the United States.
> -Space confirmed in advance.
> -The service dog is being transported by their trainer/raiser.
> -The trainer/raiser can provide a health certificate for the dog in training
> and an official ID card issued by the assistance organization.
> "Making travel easier for our customers is a mantra at Alaska Airlines,"
> said Len Wolford, Alaska Airlines passenger service policy and procedure
> specialist. "When Guide Dogs for the Blind asked us to adopt a policy that
> would welcome 'dogs in training' on our planes, we responded quickly and
> waived our standard fee to allow service dogs-in-training to travel free of
> charge."
> GDB puppy raising volunteers raise puppies from age eight weeks to 16-18
> months, at which point they can enter into formal guide dog training. During
> this time in the puppy raising home, families are responsible for providing
> their guide dog puppies with a well-rounded, nurturing environment. To
> support the puppy raisers, GDB offers a comprehensive puppy raising manual,
> organized training and socialization through meetings with other local Puppy
> Raising clubs, as well as staff that offer training and problem solving for
> the pups and their raisers. GDB currently has over 2,000 active puppy
> raising volunteers in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado,
> Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.
> With several hundred puppies needing raiser homes every year, puppy raisers
> are a critical part of producing highly trained guide dogs and other service
> dogs. People interested in Puppy Raising can learn more on GDB's website:
> www.guidedogs.com/puppy.
