澳大利亚愿景组织寻求25名志愿者在亨特地区培养导盲犬。 Vision Australia seeks 25 volunteers to raise guide dog puppies in the Hunter region.

澳大利亚在杭特地区的视觉眼狗计划正在寻找25个自愿的小狗照顾者, 从大约13周到12至15个月开始正式培训。 Vision Australia’s Seeing Eye Dogs program in the Hunter region is seeking 25 volunteer puppy carers to raise puppies from around 13 weeks old until they begin formal training at 12 to 15 months. 该方案每年培育200多只小狗,成功的小狗成为盲人或视力低的人的导盲犬。 The program breeds over 200 puppies yearly, with successful ones becoming guide dogs for people who are blind or have low vision. 照顾者帮助小狗社会化,让他们接触公共交通工具、购物中心和不同的环境,同时教授基本的服从和厕所培训。 Carers help socialize puppies by exposing them to public transport, shopping centers, and diverse environments while teaching basic obedience and toilet training. 不适合指导工作的人可能成为治疗或支持狗。 Those not suited for guide work may become therapy or support dogs. 志愿人员不断得到培训员的支持,包括每月的小组会议,并侧重于逐步的积极培训。 Volunteers receive ongoing support from trainers, including monthly group sessions, and focus on gradual, positive training. 这种作用有助于建立牢固的纽带,但在小狗向专业角色过渡时,需要具有情感弹性。 The role fosters strong bonds but requires emotional resilience when puppies transition to professional roles.
