We would like to thank the Western Family YMCA for opening their doors to our puppies. A while back, The Seeing Eye surveyed its graduates to identify areas where additional puppy exposures would be helpful. One of the top requests was increased experience in gym environments.

Gyms can be loud, busy, and sometimes intimidating spaces, making them an important part of a young dog’s socialization. With that in mind, Guiding Paws partnered with our local YMCA to offer a weeklong open invitation for our puppies to visit the fitness center, pool, and other areas of the facility.

This opportunity was incredibly valuable for our dogs’ development, and we extend a big thank‑you to the Delaware YMCA for their support and hospitality.
