Paine Field hosts basic training for Guide Dogs for the Blind

EVERETT — The would-be travelers ranged in age from 20 weeks to 14 months. Their matching green vests identified them as they arrived to a room at Paine Field with a security checkpoint. Though others in the room talked and laughed, they sat calmly on the floor. They were on the job.

That’s because the travelers were guide dogs in training.

On Saturday, they gathered at the airport not for a flight, but for a Guide Dogs for the Blind training outing. It was a learning experience for the dogs, their handlers and Transportation Security Administration agents.

Groups raising puppies in Snohomish County, Mount Vernon and Seqium participated.
