When a guide dog is out of the harness they are just pet dogs. So at home a guide dog will act just like any well trained pet and will sleep, play, etc.
Guide dogs are trained to carry out numerous everyday tasks, from flipping lightswitches to bringing the remote or phone.

Do blind Eskimos have seeing-eye sled dogs?

"Seeing Eye" is a trademark of the Seeing Eye in NJ. Only dogs trained by the Seeing Eye are properly called "Seeing Eye Dogs." It is a common misconception that guide dogs direct their owners. Guide dogs work by giving information to their blind owners. It is the human partner who ultimately makes decisions about where the team will go and how they will get there. The guide just notifies the handler of obstacles in the path and lets the human decide what to do about the obstacles. A sled dog has no way to transmit this kind of information to the driver of the sled. So in that sense, no, there are no guide sled dogs. There is, however, at least one sled dog team driven by a blind driver in sledding competitions. A second team driven by a sighted driver accompanies the blind driver and gives her information via a radio about obstacles in her path. Without that assistance, she is not able to safely drive her dogs on unfamiliar routes.


How do guide dogs know where asda is please?

I'm not sure what you mean by "asda," but in general guide dogs aren't responsible for knowing where things are. Their blind owners are responsible for that. The dog's job is to identify obstacles in the path of the owner and signal the owner about that obstacle. It is always the owner who directs the dog where to go and the owner who is responsible for keeping track of where they are by counting doors and road crossings and so forth.
