The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) is committed to providing information and assistance to the guide dog community throughout the United States. Our members consist of current guide dog users, people considering working with a guide dog, puppy raisers and others interested in the use of guide dogs.
Members work collectively to
- ensure sound training practices in guide dog programs
- educate guide dog handlers about their rights and responsibilities
- educate the public about access rights for blind people accompanied by guide dogs
- promote legislation that will ensure that guide dog users have equal opportunities in employment and recreation.
NAGDU is a division of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). We are proud to be a part of the nation's oldest and largest organization of the blind in the United States. Founded in 1940, the National Federation of the Blind has over 50,000 members, with local chapters and state affiliates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. In addition to our local chapters and state affiliates, the NFB has a number of special interest divisions, like NAGDU, which were formed to address the concerns of specific populations of blind people.
