In our area there are a few private dog trainers that offer private lessons, general guidance for service dogs, and teach task training. You might see if some of your local private dog trainers offer this type of training. Good luck with your search.

Thank you for letting us know about Gallant Hearts Guide Dog Center. I updated the page with your information.

@Erin, that’s cool! I’d can’t wait to hear all of your stories about raising a collie puppy in training. I’ve already seen some of the pictures.

Thanks! GDF just started breeding collies this past year so I’m excited to get to be among the first to raise one. 😉

@Erin, that’s odd. I had the Guide Dogs Foundation for the Blind on my list and was on their website when I was making this post, but I guess I must have missed it when I was ordering the list by state. Thanks for the update. I hope everything is going well with you and David. It must be fun having a chance to raise a Collie this time. Our group doesn’t raise Collies, but Apache is my first Golden.
