Guide Dogs

 Excellent, we support Guide dogs and Hearing dogs.  Both dogs and people do a fabulous job.

our local guide dog trainers often bring the dogs in my shop ,to teach them not to touch things and get used to inside shops , its great to see them develop over the months 

Thanks for that link, TDA. What a fabulous story!👍🏻

Thanks TDA a friend of ours, who lives near Leamington Spa where there is a training centre has taken on the task of puppy walking for many years. A lot of team work involved!

I don’t think I could take on puppy walking, couldn’t bear to part with anything once it has become part of our family. But I really admire those that do. What I find remarkable about working dogs of all kinds is that once the harness is off, they just go daft like pets. My sister used look after David Blunkett’s guide dog very occasionally when he came swimming in one of our local LC’s. 

Read this lovely article this morning, we have neighbours who do this. The puppies are so sweet. 

 Great article, tda. Thanks for posting it.

Did you read the story the other day about Guide Horses?

Somebody currently training a cob as a guide horse. Unbelievable but true. Might have a bit of difficulty getting it on a bus or getting a restaurant to allow one in.

I read about it in the i but can't find the link now. 

There's been a bit about a guide horse on the TV. They are used in the States, and a British lad has been over there training with his horse, but has had to put it on hold as the one he has is going to grow too big, so is looking for another. Here's a link to Youtube video of one of them.
