Some Misunderstandings About Guide Dogs
Guide Dogs
Many people have many doubts about guide dogs. Although many know they are large dogs and will not harm people, there are still many who cannot accept guide dogs. I will help you clear up some people's misunderstandings about guide dogs. Let's learn together.
Unlike ordinary pet dogs, guide dogs are trained to diminish the concept of ownership, so they are friendly to everyone. In other words, even if a thief comes to your home, you cannot expect the guide dog to act like a guard dog to fend off the intruder. Guide dogs do not distinguish between good and bad people; even if a thief comes, they will welcome them.
Guide dogs are not GPS devices; their primary role is to avoid obstacles, not to lead the way. The visually impaired need to recognize routes themselves. When arriving at unfamiliar places, the blind person must give commands like left and right to direct the dog. After walking the same route many times, the guide dog will naturally remember it.
