Leader Dogs for the Blind was founded in 1939 by
a group of Michigan Lions. Their goal was to
train dogs to lead the blind and to provide
facilities and means whereby trained dogs could
be matched to a blind master.
People who are legally blind, 18 years of age or
over, may be eligible for Leader Dog training.
There is no charge for a Leader Dog or any part
of the four week training program. It costs the
school approximately $20,000 for each team. The
main support of the Leader Dog program comes
from Lions Clubs throughout the USA.
