Guide Dogs

It is because blinded has guide stick and maybe the owner of the dog could poke the guide dog with the stick. And if he is not trained about that, maybe the dog could be so excited and the owner could be so frightened.

"Seeing Eye" is a trademark for The Seeing Eye, a guide dog training school in the U.S. It was founded in 1929. Only dogs trained by the Seeing Eye can properly be called "Seeing Eye dogs."

Guide dogs in general have been trained since at least as early as the middle ages.

guide dogs are helpful because they give a blind person their freedom and safety back. These dogs can help a person cross the street safely, keep the blind partner from running into objects, and learn other commands (find a chair in the shade, find a check out line, find an ashtray).

Retired guide dogs do not have the same legal rights and access as working guide dogs. While working guide dogs are granted specific access to public places under laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), retired guide dogs do not fall under these protections. However, many businesses may still choose to allow retired guide dogs as a courtesy, but this is not guaranteed. Ultimately, the rights and access of retired guide dogs depend on the policies of individual establishments.

Rattlesnakes primarily detect vibrations rather than sounds in the air, as they lack external ears. They are sensitive to ground vibrations through their jawbones, which pick up vibrations from the substrate. This ability helps them sense nearby movements, including potential prey or threats. Additionally, they rely on their excellent vision and heat-sensing pits to locate and identify their surroundings.

Guide dogs are any color a dog can be. Since most guide dogs are German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, or Golden Retrievers, most guide dogs are black and tan, black, chocolate, yellow, or golden.

Guide dogs are not trained to protect their blind partner if he/she is assaulted. Some dogs, mainly German Shepherds, may go against their training of being gentle, and react to instinct to protect their owner.

Guide dogs don't use indoor plumbing. They are taught to do their business on command at the curb.

Seeing Eye dogs are not blind and can tell where there going. How? Theytrained and something sometimes fostered for socialization. Eventually they learn. They also have good senses and insticts. Thats how they know where there going.

Because guide dog harnesses allow the dog to lead the person by pushing into the harness with its weight, thus pulling the person along.

Guide dogs wear a special kind of harness to assist their vision impaired handlers, they do not wear a vest. However, other types of service dogs often do but they are not required to do so under federal law. But a disabled handler who does not use something to identify their dog as service dog is just asking for access problems and rude confrontations.

Like all service dogs, guide dogs still have access issues when entering some places.

Every major country has laws in place to protect the disabled including using their guide dogs.

Many businesses, restaurant's, taxis, apartments and others still refuse to accommodate service dogs.

In the US the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA 1990) is one of the many laws that protects service and guide dogs. Nearly each State has their own laws which give harsh penalties for violating these rights.

Denying a valid service/guide dog could cost a business many thousands of dollars in fines, penalties and even result in jail for the individual, depending on state laws.

Legally there are no Federal Requirements for certification or registration of Service Dogs. So technically it is not a legitimate website in that registering your pet dog on there does not automatically make them a Service Dog.

Absolutely! Provided they have the needed training and temperament. They have to be able to pass the access test and not be aggressive.

Guide dogs are taught to pee and poop on cue. The dog's "partner" (the blind person) learns how to take care of their dog, including how to collect and dispose of the poop.
Some cities exempt guide dog owners and other service dog owners from scooping laws, but most do not. There is no need for an exemption because blind people are just as capable as sighted people in doing most things, including cleaning up after their dogs. A person doesn't have to see poop to pick it up. Like anyone else, a blind person knows which end of the dog is which, and the dog only toilets on command so they know the when and where of poopology. A hand is inserted in a plastic poop bag like a glove and then the scooper feels around for the warm squooshy stuff, grasps it, and turns the bag inside out. It's exactly the same for a sighted person who walks their dog at night and must scoop in the dark.
Local council i suppose lol =]
The guide dogs blind partner picks up the dogs stool.

It's estimated there are 3,000- 5,000 active teams in the US for Guide Dogs.

Roughly 100-150 new dogs graduate each year from all the schools.

There are nearly 20,000 total service dogs in use currently.

Usually after age 10, depending on the program and how well the dog is working. Many dogs retire early because they can no longer perform their function, while other may last past age 13 if their health is good.

Veterans from WWI who were blinded in the war were sometimes partnered with German Shepherd guide dogs. The German Shepherd was particularly suited for this work because if his intelligence, size, trainability, and work ethic.

While there have been many different kinds of helping dogs informally trained over the centuries and around the world, the first organized dog training program to provide these guide dogs was founded in Germany. German Shepherd Dogs were ideally suited for the work, and they were developed in Germany. These dogs were bred for specific traits including a strong work ethic, loyalty, protectiveness, and the endurance to work long hours in order to work with a human shepherd to care for a flock of sheep. All of these skills also made them excellent candidates for the kind of work a guide dog needs to be able to do. Couple that with the number of soldiers blinded in the war and there was a ready supply of blind people as well as a ready supply of suitable dogs and trainers who knew how to produce highly trained dogs (for the military as well as for herding) and you have the birth of the modern guide dog. The oldest guide dog school still in operation, the Seeing Eye, was built on the model of the first guide dog school in Germany.

There would be a lot of blind people no longer able to live independently. They would have to rely on other people.

There are many. ActiveDogs.com is one that I've used, they also do custom design.

PowerPaw Creations & LDS Leather are other manufactures of Guide Dog Harnesses.

Short answer: YES.

A Service Dog is used by a person with a disability as an Assistive Device--would the person be denied access if they were in a wheelchair? using a cane? using hearing aids? They wouldn't, therefore access for the person with a disability using an assistive device should not be dis-allowed due to the nature of the device (being a Service Dog).

However, if the non-profit timeshare is a religious entity (a church or associated buildings), the answer becomes more problematic, and not easily answered through Answers.com. It would be best to look for legal guidance.

Yes, in ant town in the USA a blind pedestrian always has the right of way. No exceptions.

A female Labrador or Golden Retriever can go without urinating for up to 12 hours. If the flight is longer than that, the dog can wear a special diaper. In general, male canines have more difficulty "holding" their urine.

The formal part of guide dog training is done at the program's training facilities. However, the early part of training, where the pups learn basic manners and toilet training, is taught in the private homes of special puppy raisers. Puppy raisers also attend training classes with their charges and outings planned by the program to expose the pups to new situations and experiences.

It depends on what they are trained to do and what kind of person it will work for.
