cultivation of trainers and instructors for working dogs. Training guide
dogs is the prime goal of all other tasks at the school. Since 2007, the

rooms, feed storages and food
preparation rooms, etc. An outdoor field is constructed as well for
training purpose and for visitors to interact with dogs.
The kennels for guide dogs in the training school are completed and will
fulfill the needs of the upcoming training programs and other research
plans. The plan pioneers in setting up not only the first special
kennels for guide dogs in Taiwan, but also the first working dog
training school run in a university in the whole world. |
