Campus Tour
Hope starts here.
Ever wonder what it takes to prepare a pup to become a life-changing, confidence-boosting, freedom-giving companion? Discover the magic by signing up for one of our campus tours. During your guided walking tour, you’ll learn about our mission and the two-year process of breeding, raising, and training our extraordinary guide dogs and service dogs. You’ll leave with a big smile and a greater appreciation for the magnitude of hope delivered at Dogs Inc.
Each tour is limited to a maximum of 8 guests. (For your larger group, we recommend our Beyond the Dark activity.) Your $29 per person reservation fee supports our mission and reserves your spot.
Know before you go.
- This is a walking tour – please wear comfortable shoes. Note: Those with mobility limitations should consider signing up for our Beyond the Dark activity, where we bring the dogs to you!
- Tours will be canceled due to severe weather. If you have questions about whether your tour will happen or not, please reach out to our pack member at 941-729-5665.
- Recommended for children ages six and older.
- Please be aware that while service dogs are welcome on our campus and in our Student Center, no personal dogs (including guide and service dogs) are permitted within any of our other buildings housing our puppies or dogs-in-training. Our puppies are too young to be fully vaccinated yet, and personal dogs may inadvertently spread viruses and illness. Even our own students and alumni do not bring their dogs into our puppy areas. Thanks for your understanding.
- At the conclusion of the tour, guests can visit our Gift Shop for pet-friendly products and souvenirs.
