How can guide dogs be universally accepted?

The relevant departments need to increase publicity Although the word guide dog is familiar to everyone, but because the number of guide dogs in our country is not large, most people have not really seen it. Especially for some people who are afraid of dogs, they only know that these are dogs, as for whether it is a golden retriever, a labrador or other breed, it may all be the same in their eyes.

Including workers from all walks of life, they don't know how to respond without seeing it. But after several incidents this year, I believe everyone will have a deeper understanding of guide dogs. Because now that information is developed, the channels of publicity have also increased, and everyone has a better understanding of how guide dogs work.

Guide dogs with doors must carry documents, and take the initiative to show documents, which blind people are doing very well, from the ** can be seen every time the guide dog is expelled, the owner will repeatedly strong This is a working dog, it has a certificate. Although not everyone can understand it, taking the initiative to show ID is to cooperate with the work.

I once saw a short **, a blind man led a guide dog into the car, and the driver asked if this was a guide dog? After taking the initiative to show the documents, the driver turned around and explained to the passengers that this is a guide dog that does not hurt people. If you're scared, stay away from it.

If every driver can be like him, take the initiative to inform and publicize, I believe that in the future, everyone's acceptance of guide dogs will be higher and higher, and more and more people will know, after all, the speed of language transmission is very fast.

In fact, part of the reason why everyone is afraid of guide dogs is that they are mixed with pet dogs. Keeping a pet dog on a leash is a topic that has been repeatedly emphasized for several years, but there are still many people who use the excuse that my dog doesn't bite people, and they just don't want to leash.

Civilized dog breeding must comply with the relevant rules and regulations, since the system has stipulated that you must be leashed when you go out, then you must strictly abide by it. There are some things that we can't afford as long as there is an accident, so don't take chances.

When will a blind guide dog be not accepted by the public? What some people want is when a fake blind person will be accepted by the public for a dog that claims to be a guide dog! It's impossible!

It is necessary to strengthen the public's awareness of guide dogs in order to be generally accepted by the public, because many people do not know about them and mistakenly think that they can bite.

The main reason why guide dogs are not generally accepted by the public is that many dog owners do not regulate their own dog raising measures, allowing dogs to run around, so many people have a bad feeling towards dogs, so we should regulate the actions of some dog owners, and popularize the importance of guide dogs to the blind to the public, so that the public will slowly accept guide dogs.

1. Two months after the puppy is born, it will go to the foster family to learn "social life": defecate at a fixed point, lie quietly under the seat when going to the restaurant and taking transportation, etc., and learn to adapt to various environments, especially learn to be familiar with people's living environment.

2. Until about one to one and a half years old, the dog's character has been stabilized, and the acceptance and reaction ability is the best, it will be taken back to the training center, and the trainer will take over the training of guide dogs.

3. Not all dogs are suitable for guide work, guide dogs need to have certain basic qualities, such as docile, intelligent, empathetic, and also need to have a strong ability to adapt to the surrounding environment. According to the Xinmin Evening News, in terms of dog breeds, the most commonly used guide dogs around the world are Golden Retrievers (**Retrievers) and Labradors.

4. The Golden Retriever Retriever has strong genetic immunity, strong body, easy to raise, and its lifespan can reach up to 15 years. In terms of personality, the Golden Retriever is very docile, under normal circumstances, does not bark at other people and dogs, and is very loyal to its owner. In terms of IQ and dexterity, the Golden Retriever is very intelligent and is more likely to accept the professional training required by guide dogs.

Guide dogs have a natural and peaceful mentality, they will stand at the right time, refuse to eat, help blind people in cars, pass things, ignore the interference of passers-by, and will not attack them.

Guide dogs are dogs that have been rigorously trained and are a type of working dog. Guide dogs are trained to help blind people get to schools, shops, laundries, street gardens, etc. They are accustomed to the restraint of collars, guide leashes and other accessories, know a lot of passwords, can lead the blind to walk safely, and will guide the owner to stop when encountering obstacles and when it is necessary to turn around, they will guide the owner to stop to avoid danger.

Guide dogs have a natural and peaceful mentality, they will stand at the right time, refuse to eat, help blind people in cars, pass things, ignore the interference of passers-by, and will not attack them. The history of guide dogs dates back to the early 19th century. In 1819 one was named Hale.

John's man founded the world's first guide dog training facility in Vienna.

Haier later published a booklet detailing the center's work, but the project was not widely known at the time. It was almost 100 years before guide dogs began to be valued, because after the First World War, many German soldiers lost their sight, and the doctor Ochhard was inspired to open the world's first guide dog training school in Germany.

It's quieter, I don't like to call it very much. He is very gentle with people, very focused on one thing, not easily affected by other things in the environment, relatively bold and relatively large (so that he can lead the blind).

Labrador obedience is better, data show that the IQ is also higher than the husky, is used to be a guide dog breed, close to humans, very friendly, this is generally the characteristics of Labrador.

Intelligent, docile in temperament.

I like to get along with people.

Strong principle. Less aggressive.

Guide dogs can help blind people walk, avoid collisions with obstacles, and even cross the road, so that blind people can live the same life as normal people. A guide dog is a highly trained dog that has a good autonomy and memory to guide its owner to their destination and protect their owner.

Guide dogs can increase the speed of the blind to increase their walking speed, and the speed at which the visually impaired can avoid obstacles and find a fixed point during walking; Increased mobility safety: guide dogs have received professional guidance training, which can quickly and accurately guide the visually impaired to avoid obstacles and find fixed points or targets; Increased flexibility: No stumbling or getting stuck in obstacles.

The main function is to make it easy for the blind to travel and walk, without bumping into things, and the specially trained guide dog can take the blind to some places where it is trained. Moreover, guide dogs can help blind people do more things, it can help blind people around the waterhole, and can also take blind people home, increasing the safety of blind travel.

The blind have limited mobility, and the guide dog will help the blind to make a large detour when circumnavigating obstacles such as waterholes to ensure that the blind will not step on it; Crossing the road is passed according to ** and vehicle condition and taken to the destination.

Blind people have difficulty moving, blind cane travel, and the range of movement is very small, and it is inevitable that a person will bump and bump when he goes out; The good of the guide dog is reflected in its flexibility, it stands on the left hand side of the blind, and when circumnavigating obstacles such as waterholes, it will go around greatly to ensure that the blind will not step on it; Crossing the road is based on the ** and the situation of the vehicle, and knows the principle of disobedience, that is, it thinks that the current intersection is not suitable to cross the road and the blind person prompts it to cross, it will refuse to obey, in addition, it will look at obstacles in the air, such as branches, etc.

After a guide dog goes to a place several times and tells the password, when the blind person says the destination, it will bring the blind person there, so when the guide dog and the blind person build trust in each other, the blind person feels safe when he walks as if he is being supported by his family. All of this greatly expands the range of activities of the blind and increases the safety of travel.

Guide dogs provide a lot of convenience for the blind.

The conditions that a guide dog needs to have are:The ability to respond to the call of the owner in the face of the unknown, right-handers are more likely to become guide dogs, breed requirements, self-control.

1. Performance in the face of the unknown

Dogs that are going to be guide dogs will be selected through a preliminary test when they are about seven weeks old. The relevant personnel will play a noisy or terrifying sound to the dog, and if the dog reacts to this sound, but the reaction is not particularly intense, and it does not show special panic, it indicates that the puppy has the talent to become a guide dog.

2. The ability to respond to the call of the master

Some dogs are naturally more responsive to the call of their owners, and this type of dog is undoubtedly a good seedling to become a guide dog. Throwing a toy to an untrained puppy and calling the dog while the dog is happy to play, if the dog can quickly withdraw from the play to respond to the owner, it shows that the dog is really the "chosen dog" to become a guide dog.

3. Right-handers are more likely to become guide dogs

Dogs are divided into left-handed and right-handed, the so-called left-handed, that is, when walking, usually the left foot first, while the right-handed is the opposite. Studies have shown that right-handers are docile and more likely to be guide dogs. Left-handed dogs, on the other hand, are usually flexible, creative, and can do some autonomous work.

Fourth, the variety requirements

Usually, guide dogs are Labradors and Golden Retrievers of choice. Because these two breeds of dogs are recognized as docile, intelligent**, and have a high obedience, they are not easily overexcited, so they can better control themselves from external influences, and their body size is more suitable for working dogs.

5. Self-control ability

Self-control is a key consideration in the selection of guide dogs. Only in a noisy environment and anti-interference can it still serve and work to be called a qualified guide dog.

Qualified guide dogs are trained for a long time and hard work.

The first guide dog school was established in Germany during the First World War, and guide dogs were trained to assist blind and disabled veterans. The first guide dog training center in the United States was established in 1929 in Nashville, Tennessee. Guide dogs were introduced to Japan for the first time in 1938, and the first guide dog was established in 1947, and the Japan Guide Dog Association was established in 1967.

Taiwan established its first guide dog training center in 1993.

Newborn puppies are born in a guide dog center until they are two months old. Then they were separated from their biological parents and went to live in a foster family. This period is a time for puppies to learn two major things:

1. Habits of getting along with humans. Foster homes must strictly enforce that puppies cannot eat human food, cannot jump on furniture (especially couches) and human beds, and have basic obedience commands (e.g., sit, tummy, wait...).）。

2. Socialization training. During the socialization of puppies, they are brought in and out of various public places by foster families, and are accustomed to various environments and public transportation, which has made all preparations for the convenience of serving the visually impaired in the future.

At the age of one to two years old, guide dogs are separated from foster families and returned to the training center to be trained by professional guide dog trainers. The conditions at the guide dog school are good and the training is rigorous.

First of all, it is necessary to strengthen obedience, and through food and verbal encouragement, help guide dogs review the commands they have learned at home, such as "sit down", "lie down", and "come".

After obedience training, the instructor will put a guide saddle on the guide dog and take them on the treadmill for training until the guide dog can consciously walk in a straight line.

Then it's time to practice on the real streets and teach the blind dog a new command to lead the way. During this time, guide dogs learn to recognize traffic situations and decide when it is safe to cross the road. These things sound simple, but for dogs, they have to be repeated and repeated.

Generally, guide dogs can be completed after one to one and a half years in the training center, and after finding a suitable owner, they will retire at the age of eight to twelve on average. After retirement, the guide dog can be adopted by a suitable adoptive family, and it can be kept as a happy pet dog until it dies.
