Most professional Guide dog providers do not place Guides with anyone under 16 years of age, and only with parental permission if under 18 years of age. There have been exceptional cases where some as young as 12 have been partnered with a Guide, but it is a rare occasion.

∙ 12y agoGuide dogs are bred to be able to work for years, but each dog does vary. In very rare cases the dog may develop a heath problem at a young age, but they are generally working past the age of 7. They retire when they can no longer work with their blind person, due to mental or physical aging.

∙ 6y agoGuide dogs are hand picked as puppies or bred for the discipline. Only people who do this as a career pick the puppies and complete their training. Although people may be "puppy raisers". This is only until the dog is one.
However, guide Dog Training starts really the moment they are born - they're handled and socialized and exposed to everything people can think of as young as they can be.
Pretty much from day one.
All service dogs must complete a strict obedience course which teaches the basics, housebreaking, sit, down, up, stay, etc. This stage can last 3 months to a year depending on the number of command taught. The next stage is Public Access where the dog is trained how to behave in public, this stage can last up to a year. The final stage is where the dog is trained it's tasks, whether it be hearing, guide or medical. The entire process, depending the dog and it's tasks, lasts at least one to over three years.
Seeing Eye Dogs take exactly 27 months and 27 days.
Usually right when they leave their mom, they get weaned and when they start eating real puppy food after a few weeks or less go to the organization to learn how to be a guide dog and wait until a handler gets them and then they go to classes.
