All
current puppy raisers and co-raisers should have access to the online forms page
of the Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. website. Go to www.guidedogs.com ->
Programs -> Dog Programs -> Puppy Raising. On the right side of the page should
be a box entitled Puppy Raising Forms & a link “Go to all puppy raising forms.”
If you do not have access to these forms, please e-mail Sarah Netoff at
snetoff@guidedogs.com
to have your online account updated.
There is
lots of good, current information on the GDB forms page. Below are links to the
basics.

Monthly Progress Report
A written
progress report on your puppy must be submitted each month to the club
leaders, Warren & Claudia Wish. They review your report, add their
observations, & forward it to our club’s Community Field Representative from GDB.
Following her review and follow up (if necessary), the report is filed in the
puppy’s permanent record to be read by the GDB instructors during your puppy’s
formal training. These reports are very important and should be kept up to
date. Although you can download, print and complete the monthly report by hand,
it is easier for all concerned if you complete the report online & forward it by
e-mail to the club leaders.

Project Record
When it
is time for your puppy to return to GDB for his formal training, you will be
asked to complete his Project Record. You received a hard copy of this document
in his puppy packet. As with the monthly progress report, it simplifies the
process if you complete the Project Record online and e-mail it to the club
leaders. It is very important this document be completed at least one month
prior to your puppy’s return to GDB. The club leaders and our GDB Community
Field Representative must have time to add their observations and comments and
forward it to the Training Dept. at GDB before your puppy arrives.

Puppy Project Record (Word) - This Word version of the Project Record will
allow you to save it to your own computer; you can type in content, save, and
return to the file on your computer as often as you choose, and print it out
when ready.
#9 -
Puppy Project Record (PDF, 40KB) - This PDF will allow you to print out the
Project Record and complete the form by hand.
#10 -
Puppy Project Record (PDF, 44KB) - This PDF will allow you to complete the
Project Record on your computer screen and print it, but it cannot save the
data. Only use this form if you're ready to complete the Project Record in one
sitting and do not need to save or e-mail it. (Recommended only for those who do
not have access to Word.)
Fun Things About My Puppy
This form
must be completed and given to the kennel staff when you return your puppy to
Guide Dogs. When your puppy is matched with his new person, they are given a
copy of this to learn all the special things about your puppy that only you, the
raiser, can provide!
