In this video I will share my three top recommendations for what to bring when you are training with a new Guide Dog. While most of these recommendations are generalizable regardless of the Guide Dog organization you may be training with, some are weather dependent, and some will vary based on the equipment issued by the guide dog organization you attend. I have trained and worked with three guide dogs, each through Guide Dogs for the Blind ( guidedogs.com ) with headquarters in San Rafael, California and Boring, Oregon. I have only participated in training on the Oregon campus.

If you are interested in learning more about the process to obtain a Guide Dog, or you'd like to apply to receive a Guide Dog through Guide Dogs or the Blind, please visit www.guidedogs.com for more information.

Welcome to our channel! I am a blind mom to two girls and wife to my high school sweetheart, who loves to share inspiration, joy, creativity, and the reality of growth through the struggle, and through supporting one another. As a blind mama, and with one daughter who has Autism, I share lifestyle, craft/DIY, mom-life, disability-awareness, disability-etiquette, and guide dog/service dog related content, videos, and vlogs.

My family and I are in the process of transitioning this channel to a family channel, and the. name will be changing at some point in the near future. Thank you for your patience as we make these changes and make some important decisions about our channel and content.

We will be sharing about our journey with Evie's autism, life as parents with two kiddos, disability and differences and how they do (and don't) impact us and our family, and the same Crafty Blind Chick content which will be categorized when specific CBC videos are posted.. I would love to have you join us on this journey..
