How can a guide dog help people?

Answer 1

the dog wont talk it will move in the diretion to go in
A guide dog is taught a variety of behaviors and signals that the user will then "command" the dog to respond. The dog is also taught intelligent disobedience, such as to disobey a given command that if obeyed would result in harm or death to a user.

The human handler tells the dog where to go. The dog may also learn through repetition paths that are frequently taken by name, such as "home" or "office."

The dog doesnt know where the person wants to go----that is the handlers job. The handler learns how to get around after attending training known as "Orientation and Mobility".

Becasue its all they have ever known since they were a puppy

Answer:

Your question: "How do Guide Dogs know where to go?" is a bit vague. I can see two potential questions in your request:

• "how do Guide Dogs 'know' how to navigate, without bringing their handler into danger?"
• "how does a Guide Dog get from one place to another?"

The way Guide Dogs are trained teaches them how to navigate--to avoid obstacles, pedestrians, cars, and hazards. Guide Dogs, as a general rule, are born and then raised by a Fostering Family, then sent to Guide Dog school--each organization has their own school. It is at this school that the dog is trained how to "work"--to do its job of guiding a low or non-sighted person.

The way a Guide Dog "knows" where to go, is that the handler/owner tells the Guide Dog what to do. Each handler has different ways of learning to navigate their world (counting steps, paying attention to sounds and smells--each person uses their own method). Then they will tell the dog--Forward, or Left or Right or whichever command is needed to get them (the Team) to their destination. Oftentimes, hand signals are used to also inform the Guide Dog what command to follow.
Guide Dogs for the blind usually have a Guide Harness that extends about a foot above the dog and is at a comfortable handle bar height for the user. With this harness the user can feel which way the dog is going and can give commands to turn using it.

Guide Dogs normally walk in a straight line, if an obstacle is in the way it will go around it with the user following using the harness. If the sidewalk comes to a curb or fork, the dog will stop and/or sit, and wait for the handler to indicate which way to go.

A blind user can actually map out an area and using the dog sits/stops to confirm intersection count. The dog no only looks for obstacles but for low branches, rough surfaces and drainage grates to assist the blind handler.

Answer 2

Most guide dogs will lead a person with a cane and/or dark sunglasses on.

They usually will also have a harness around them and a sort of hard rectangular bar thing coming from the harness similar to a handle for the blind person to hold.

Usually, they also will wear a special collar or dog jacket with something on it that refers to a symbol or logo and text of the school the dog was trained at to become a guide dog.
