Goldador Puppy Learning To Be A Guide Dog
Meet Eve, the first guide dog to be fully trained in Singapore. Guide dogs are assistance dogs for people who are blind or vision impaired. Eve is part of social agency Guide Dogs Singapore’s plan to shorten a new client's wait time for a dog - from a minimum of two years to a minimum of 6 months instead.
Training the dogs in a local environment, rather than bringing them in from international guide dog schools, helps them to be better acclimatised to the hustle and bustle of Singapore neighbourhoods, says Christina Teng, the first and only guide dog mobility instructor here. Matching a dog to a visually impaired handler and training the pair together will then be easier, she adds.
CNA Insider followed Eve’s training from Day 1, to see her go from being distracted by the common mynah, to calmly taking her handler aboard trains and buses. It is a months-long process to train a dog to become a trusted aide - and public acceptance of guide dogs is an important factor in the success of the programme.

A Beautiful friendship between a Guide Dog and her owner. I hope they will both compliment each other and Happy lives
eve is ♥. and kudos to the Guide Dogs Singapore for helping blind people make their life just abit easier.
Great documentary. Insightful, interesting, uplifting. Please do more of these, CNA.
please have more episode of this series, love it! :) learn many from this.
I have a Collie and we live in the country. It is hard enough, living in the country; she always chases cars and chases animals (such as our cat). I cannot imagine living in the city with my dog. I am really impressed by Eve. She has such a sweet temperament and is very well behaved.
In Europa many guidedogs are trained using food Rewards. It is no Problem at all and works very well.
Well done Christina. Thomas & Eve, Take care of each other.
Great documentary, hope there’s more to come. 😊
Excellent job from you lady training that dog for guiding that blind young man. Keep going on helping others in need. Thank you so much.
That was so nice to watch, thank you.
Christine, Thomas and Eve congratulations. I sincerely enjoyed your video. Wishes for a long and happy journey with Eve. CANADA
This is another excellent production by CNA insider! Loves how it shows how a guide dog is trained from the start to the end! Looking forward to more of this videos. The trainer Christina is very patient and encouraging. So happy for everyone!
Thomas nric .please mask out. It’s visible to all at 18.04.
I love golden retrievers and labs. She was destined to be the goodest of girls.
In Singapore, if you remove those ridiculous cyclist and electronic bicycle riders who insist to be on pedestrian’s road, it’s pretty safe here. I HATE those riders who just bully people whilst being on the side of the road they are not supposed to be on
Very good insight into how guide dogs are being trained ❤🎉

Labrador Retriever is the full name of the Labrador, not the mix.

@@roberttaylor5997 those who wear spectacles don’t have to wear spectacles anymore, just use a guide dog
Software integrated with AI to guide in walking would be appropriate. More activities and places can be accomplished without much difficulty.
Pls love animals
Man, that is so tough on the trainer and the dog. Wonder if eventually we can adapt the self-driving car technology to assist the blind.
Good Eve! 🥰❤💖💞🦴🦮
How old is Eve this year? 😊
Awwww….
Man my allergies are acting up
