How old do you have to be to train a guide dog puppy?

[Edit]

To be a puppy raiser, which is what I believe you are asking, age is not a factor. It is however, a commitment an entire family must make together. Everyone in the household must be involved in the decision, as you all will be involved in the life of said pup. There are many organizations who utilize puppy raisers in their Service Dog programs, and each organization will have it's own guidelines in choosing families. The best thing to do, if you are interested in volunteering, is to contact a group in your area and inquire about their guidelines and standards.

Good Luck.
