Pip and puppy what type of dog

She began her training in the Puppy Academy nursery at just two days of age, being tickled and handled by loving humans to help her become socialized and comfortable with her environment.

Simultaneously, Pip also became the subject of what was to become a record-shattering and multi-award-winning animated video, produced to create awareness of the Southeastern Guide Dogs mission.

When she graduated from Puppy Kindergarten, Pip continued with her journey of training with her volunteer puppy raiser. Christie is a certified trainer and is currently regional manager of Puppy Raising services for our organization. She took Pip into her heart and home for about a year of socialization, building on her basic skills and cues, and giving her exposures to the world outside. Simultaneously, the film Pip was a huge success, making legions of people laugh, cry and root for her as she attempted to become a superhero for someone with vision loss.

But in the end, her bravery, ingenuity, and great big heart saved the day for a visually impaired woman, and Pip is truly is a hero. In real life, however, Pip, the endearing underdog, was destined to become a beloved pet.

In her assessments, the expert trainers of Southeastern Guide Dogs looked for signs that she might want to be paired with a veteran with post-traumatic stress and other disabilities, or a child with significant challenges such as vision loss or the loss of a parent in the military.
