Take a look at our centres - from the National Centre, where our puppies begin their journey, to our five regional centres where they continue their training to become life-changing Guide Dogs.
The National Centre, formerly known as the National Breeding Centre located just outside of Leamington Spa, is where our puppies begin their journey to become life-changing guide dogs. The centre has room to breed up to 1,500 puppies a year and, since opening our doors in 2011, we have now bred almost 11,000 puppies - that's a lot of life-changers!
We offer scheduled visitor experiences of the National Centre, where attendees may get the chance to see the puppies as they socialise and grow; gaining experience of everyday sights and sounds, which help them develop the skills needed to become guide dogs.

After their time at the National Centre, our puppies go on to meet their puppy raisers, who support them as they grow and develop. Once they are ready, our dogs go to start their training! We currently have five guide dog regional centres in the country.
