Thanks for sharing
Aww such a great vid. I’m one of Rachel’s friends from England and I very much remember her hatred of learning braille in school 😂😂😂. Thank you for sharing xxx
Thank you for watching the video, it is lovely to hear that a friend of Rachel’s from England has enjoyed the video, we had a lot of fun! Yes, sometimes, when you are learning Braille at school amongst cited peers, it can be very overwhelming and upsetting
Hi Mel! Its Cam. I hope your mate enjoyed Australia! Stay safe legend!!
Thank you, I think she really enjoyed it.
Great video
awesome video ladies . Great for you 2 to meet up in your home, Have an awesome time
It was so amazing to see each other again after all that time. Can’t wait till I’ve saved enough money to go to England 🏴
@@melStephens1994 That will be an epic adventure as well. Take care and keep having fun
Thank you, will have to wait a few years before I go to England. I do, however, have some fun trips in Australia still in the pipeline
To answer the question about whether the US guide dog schools use "toileting "harnesses, yes, some due to an extent. For example, The Seeing Eye will issue them to students if requested. I don't know about other schools, but I do know that other handler/owner trainers also use them. We call them relieving harnesses here. The lady who makes them is Julie Johnson from On The Go Gear, and it was she who developed the style that Seeing Eye uses.
It might cost more because of shipping, but perhaps she would be able to ship one or two for Rachel to the UK. They are handy, but I don't use them all the time, as it's just much faster to pick up the traditional way. But a rellieving harness does come in very handy when there is a lot of snow on the ground.
You could also possibly find someone to make one.
Thank you, that is really good to know and some awesome information! I’m glad to hear that some schools over there have adopted the toilet, or relieving harness. I hope you and the puppy are well.
It’s interesting to hear about what life is like for blind people in other countries. I was born blind, and I live in the USA.
Yes, I love hearing about people's experiences in other countries too. I've always wanted to go to the US and find out what it's like, I love hearing stories about it from those of you who are over there.

Dam she's a Daventry lass, I know Daventry very well. Another visually impaired person from England here, this was great
I hope you enjoyed the video, it’s always exciting when you hear of people who live near you or know places that you know. Can’t wait to come to England and see Daventry for myself one day.
