About us

Our association’s short history

Our foundation was established in 2006 with the aim of training guide dogs and placing them with their visually impaired handlers. In our very first year, we handed over our first guide dog, and although our state funding has since been discontinued, the number of dogs we provide has continued to grow steadily year by year.In Hungary, only about 1% of visually impaired people are assisted by a guide dog, even though these animals provide irreplaceable support in everyday life. The success of our work is made possible by our dedicated volunteers and supporters.

Puppy raising

The work of puppy raisers provides the essential foundation for the future training of guide dogs. It is a very beautiful, but also very challenging task.

Training

The essence of our method is that during training, the dog lives and practices in conditions that closely resemble its future living environment.
