can any suggest how to introduce two guide dogs to a normal but boistrous pet dog?

Posted on March 2, 2010 by admin

a friend is blind and has to bring his guide dogs to my house when he vistis, while i have to leave my dog at family, is there a better option ?
he has two guide dogs because a guide dog works for a certain amount of years then they retire. the one guide dog is his retired guide dog and the other is his currently working one.

The guide dogs are highly trained to ignore dogs unless told that they can interact with them. If they are dog distracd during training they will get dropped and will not become full guide dogs. So the dogs should be all right so i think that you should just let the dogs all run around and play together so they begin to know each other. If that does not work then i would go with your original idea and putting your dog at someone elses house.. should it be your neighbor or family. Or you could borrow a kennel or buy one and just keep your dog in it. I am rasing guide dogs also and i have discovered that calm dogs make other dogs calmer. Hope i helped :) .

    guide dogs are expected to behave in a way that is strange to most people. they have strict schedules and i wouldn’t risk confusing the dogs by having your dog tempting them into play. why does he have two dogs? never heard of that!

    You need to train your dog to stay away from the dogs that are working. It is not his problem about your dog. Those dogs are trained very well for every situation. Please do not allow your dog to jump all over them and get in their face.
