    We're all living through a very difficult time right now, and we thought you might enjoy taking a calm, relaxing walk with Figaro, my four year-old black labrador retriever guide dog. Enjoy the music, enjoy the praise, enjoy the walk! Take good care of one another and be safe.

    Hi, I noticed that we have not seen any videos from you for about seven months and I always found them quite enjoyable and great for entertainment and information about your guide dog. I hope everything is well with you. Are you posting on another service besides RUclips? In any event take care and I hope you’re well the Lord bless you and your family.

    AMAZING! I am trying to decide I’d a service dog is for me. I don’t have any feeling in my feet and am constantly tripping over curs. Me wife usually tells me where the steps are. At one she doesn’t remember to tell me about small pot holes that can twist my ankle. She oftentimes tells me, “see I’m better than a guide dog. They can’t tell you where the pot holes are. I don’t use my white stick because it sets me up for aggressive people to aggravate me.

      Man, I’m so sorry to hear about your experience with your cane. 😰. I definitely value my cane as a tool when I’m traveling without my guide dog. My husband will sighted guide me also, but I don’t like to feel dependent upon him sighted guiding me. Everyone does what works for them though, you know? And if what works for you and your wife is for her to sighted guide you and audio cue you to the areas your feet might encounter or have trouble with, then that’s great! Do you have neuropathy in your feet? That has to be so frustrating!

    :) I'm a blind person also in Minneapolis with a guide dog. I love watching your videos and this one was so soothing. There aren't many places we can go right now but my dog still loves working around the neighborhood!

      Oooooh I’m so glad! This is a hard time for everyone... but thank you for doing your part to help us all get through this. What organization is your dog through? ❤️. Also, welcome, and thanks for joining our community!

    Do the award treats add weight to your service dog?

      No, his food reward is a portion of his day’s kibble/food. ❤️

    Would you say that Figgy is a fast walking dog? He looks. Fast from here. You’ll look awesome by the way.

    • @theblindmomnextdoor
      @theblindmomnextdoor  Год назад

      Thanks Afron!! He is a fast-paced dog, but he is not the fastest guide dog I’ve had. Megan, my second guide dog, was like a freaking race car, it was insane!!

      @@theblindmomnextdoor is that the one that worked for a few months? Are you going to ask for a fast pac dog e next time as well?

      Megan worked most of a year. She experienced severe allergies in our area. It was so difficult to let her go, but she’s healthy and happy living with her puppy raisers and doesn’t experience allergies that at all.
      I will ask for a dog with a very similar pace to Figaro. So, likely faster than average, but NOT the fastest and unable to be experienced as a slow pace. Part of that for me is that I can walk fast when I’m on my own, but I spend a lot of time with my family, and I don’t want to be thirty feet ahead of my husband and kids all the time. 🤣
