The leash corrections in this video are extremely harsh and definitely hurt the dog. They are indeed punishments. Although this video is old, I think it’s important to address this issue, maybe in the description or comments.
While this video has some valid tips for family members and other people, it is well over two decades old and could use a lot of revamping, especially in the way things are explained. As a long time graduate of The Seeing Eye, I do understand that it is the school’s job and intention to educate; part of that education process is to break things into simpler terms so the uneducated public can understand. But this video at times tries to overly reassure the viewer, adopting a tone of: “Oh I know you’re worried and you don’t know, but don’t worry. The graduate has it all taken care of. We’ve taught him/her how to take care of the dog, so you don’t have to do things like feed, groom, or even clean up after him.” While I can’t speak for all graduates, I know I’m not the only SE graduate who finds the presentation of this video cringey, and that’s not typically my reaction when it comes to most things The Seeing Eye puts out.
@@SarafinaSummers I hear you... I don't think that was the intent, and I do hope they make an updated version. I remember watching that way back in 1999 when I was in my first class; even as a young and first time handler, I cringed.

You know, I find it really, really ironic that this video isn't described by default, given who it's created for and by.

The video is downright patronizing.
