No, guide dogs for the blind are not pets. They are working dogs. They have purposes and training that pets do

not have.

Although they are very much loved by their partners, and they do get to play, much of the time they are working - functioning as they have been trained to lead and protect their partners.

Working or service dogs must be able to go to places pets are not permitted - such as restaurants, office buildings grocery and other stores, and even hospitals and doctor offices.They are socialized and trained for approximately 2 years before they are matched to a partner. Their usual working life-span is about 8-10 years (breed dependent), and may retire in their partner's household as a pet while the person gets another guide dog to be their partner.

-------------------

yes they are pets because they are a dog witch is a pet and they are very helpful to the blind the blind think they are very enjoyable like pets are. they are also a pet because the owner has to feed and care for them witch is what you do with a pet

i hope that answers you question

glad to help

Answer also: This is one of those yes and no questions. A beloved animal may be viewed as a treasured companion, like a family member. Guide dogs are trained and assigned to assist the blind and the deaf, companion dogs are trained to assist the elderly and others. Generally they remain the property of the organization that provides the service dog so they are technically not your pet, but they are to be treated as you would a pet you own. I watched a young lady in a wheelchair at a restaurant Saturday night with her service dog. She gave him treats, but his harness had the name of the service organization.

Yes they are. Everyone knows that dumb person.

Guide dogs assist people who are blind. They indicate to their blind handler when an obstacle is in their path, usually by stopping and standing still. On command, they will attempt to find a way to navigate around the obstacle.

They can also be trained to find specific places and things on command. Guide dogs generally learn the places where the handler goes regularly, such as home or work. They can also find things like chairs, restrooms, and exits on command.
Guide dogs can help a blind owner navigate around obstacles and find things like chairs and restrooms, and locations by name.

Guide dogs are specially trained to guide their blind masters around obstacles and to help them find destinations on command. They are trained to guide their masters around pot holes, mail boxes, utility poles, low hanging branches, and many other things that could cause injury to the blind person.

A guide dog is a dog individually trained to assist a person who is blind with navigation. They are trained to recognize and navigate around common obstacles such as pot holes, utility poles, curb cuts, mail boxes, and low-hanging branches, among other things.

There are several programs that train dogs to guide the blind. The most well known of these is the Seeing Eye, in Morristown, New Jersey. Only dogs that graduate from the Seeing Eye are properly called "Seeing Eye Dogs," all other dog guides are called "guide dogs."

In some countries the term "guide dog" is also used to refer to assistance animals of all kinds, but in the U.S., the term "guide dog" refers specifically to dogs who assist owners who are legally blind.

Most people who are blind are not totally without vision. Generally, a person is considered blind when their vision is below 20/200. In order to succeed with a guide dog, the person must have too little vision to allow them to try to guide the dog as this would damage the dog's training.

Other contributors have said:
  • They are trained to avoid obstacles in the handler's path and safely guide them around those obstacles. These obstacles might include low hanging branches, breaks in pavement (potholes), utility poles, mail boxes or curb cuts.
  • They can also learn a handler's common routes, for example between home and work, and lead them there on command.
  • Guide dogs are trained in "intelligent disobedience." If given a command to move forward when it is unsafe to do so, the dog will refuse. For example, if the handler signals the dog to move forward into the street and a car is coming, the dog will refuse the command.
  • They help their blind handler by leading them so they don't step in/on something, fall, trip, they are just to guide them so they don't unknowingly walk in front of a car, or go down stairs. by getting to know the traits of the dog and the dog getting to know in turn the traits of the person, they communicate so that the person who is blind has an easier time getting around.
  • a seeing-eye dog
  • Guide dogs guide their blind partners around obstacles that might injure them.
  • for blind people who can't see and they are trained to open doors or alarm the blind person of harm and or danger. also to let them be aware of their surroundings
  • To lead the blind.
  • Guide dogs are useful because they help blind people get around on their own, without having to hire someone to drive them places and whatnot. Guide dogs help blind people get around on their own and live as much as a normal life as possible.
  • The most common breeds used are the German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, and Golden Retriever.
  • We commonly "see" labradors and retrieving dogs once used for retrieving during duck hunting. They are small, though large enough to do and go where we need at a sufficient pace.
  • any dog that knows the way and that is friendly and trained. German shephards are good blind helpers

It depends, if their trained properly before going to their owner then they wont. However if they feel threatened by another human being then they might.

Most Service Dog owners have a crate. It's called Crate Training and it gives the dogs a safe place to sleep and call their own, like an indoor dog house.

No. Although one in training may, biting is severally discouraged and a fully trained guide-dog should never bite. Neither Humans nor, other dogs.
