ADI Conference and Ollie and Sadie's story

On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show Harriet is joined by two guests.

First we have Kim Ryan of Guide Dogs Tasmania and Western Australia and part of the Assistance Dogs International (ADI) training conference of Oceania organising committee joining us to talk about the exciting inaugural ADI conference for Oceania held at Seeing Eye Dogs in November 2024. This conference provided a stage for collaboration with other amazing schools world-wide to help bring the best outcomes to all assistance dog handlers.

Then we're joined by Oliver Fanshawe Seeing Eye Dogs handler to Sadie. Ollie was our youngest client ever when he was matched with Sadie at age 14. Ollie, an athlete of blind cricket and blind tennis, has just graduated high school and shares some of his story and chats with us about life working with SED Sadie.
