Hi Tania,
There is a group in Canada, they're located in Oakville.  They work through
the Lion's Club and train both companion dogs and seeing-eye dogs.  I worked
with them a few years ago, Canine Vision is the actual name of the group.
Here is an address http://www.wordplay.com/cbslions/lfcincex.htm  which
gives a contact  which you can call or write to.  I do not know what kind of
support they would offer if you want to train your own dogs, as I have only
assisted in training their specially picked dogs, but they may be able to
offer some training assistance or information.
