My dad has been blind since he was about three years old (he’s now 56) and has never had a guide dog but last year he decided to finally got one and after lots of signing and figuring out who’s best we got a 2 year old white labratriever called sam and we couldn’t ask for anymore thank you Liverpool training centre for helping my dad get outside again 🐕 🙏🏻
I applied for a guide dog in about 2007. We phoned up got the forms then went for a further assessment in Bolton where I looked after a guide dog girl in training called Gretta. I'm registered blind and after all that they said no because I wasn't independant enough well I thought that was the idea of guide dogs to help us become more independant. Also the house was up for sale now that reason regarding the house I can understand but the not independant enough. No don't get that one.
yes the same but I niw have lab trained by ex guidedog trainer saddens me because dog can really help you organisation canine companions disabled try them wish you well 4 future
You need to be independent also because guide dogs can still become distracted. Yes they are trained not to be. But like everyone mistakes happen As for traffic you still have to listen for that to help you cross the street.
You have to be independent enough to make decisions though. Yes, a guide dog will help you so much, but at the end of the day you still have to be able to look after yourself and the dog. The dog can't tell you when it's safe to cross the road. It can't tell you which bus you need. It can't help you know where Tesco is. You have to be able to work that out yourself. Or, if you can't, importantly you have to be able to ask for help. And unfortunately you have to ask another human, not your GD, 'cause your dog can't read the bus number sadly! :) They should have given you training though, no? I doubt they just turned around and said no.

luna It’s necessary to take them from their mom a bit early in order to avoid the first fear period and get their socialization started before that sets in. These are specially bred labs in order to be ready early. Most breeders wait until 8 weeks but although that is a good time physically it is actually not the best time psychologically for a puppy to be introduced into a new family. there is generally the start of a fear period at that time. Guide dogs need to be very brave and calm and well socialized so there is a compromise made by breeding them to be physically ready to leave their mom as early as possible. Plus there are full time staff to introduce the puppies to food early and specially designed food etc. For an average puppy that would be pretty early but all dog owners should be aware of what fear periods are and when they occur.

There are another two episodes on RUclips if you just google "me and my guide dog"

Boris is deliberately delaying my intentions to become independent, get mobility lessons and apply for a guide dog.

Danielle Dewitt here in the U.S is hard to get a guide or therapy dog as well.
