The training method of guide dogs, I believe many people are not unfamiliar with guide dogs. Generally, guide dogs are used by blind people and require a long period of rigorous training. How to train guide dogs
Guide dogs are trained with prospective owners, who learn how to work with guide dogs, how to command, how to feed, and more. The puppy needs to know the living and working environment of the new owner. If the two sides cooperate tacitly, the guide dog will be taken home by the blind person, and the “job” will officially begin. The working time of a guide dog is generally 8 years. After retirement, some guide dogs will live with their owners forever, and some will be sent back to the training center. Guide dog training methods First of all, the puppy must be trained to complete all the basic techniques freely. Training the response to encountering obstacles is actually letting the puppy form a conditioned reflex. For example, in order to train a guide dog to respond to a stairwell, the trainer will take the puppy to the stairwell, pat the stairs or something with his hands, make the puppy stop and lean over to the trainer, and so on. Again, let the puppy form a habit of automatically stopping as soon as it sees the stairs, turning sideways to block the person’s body, until the success rate reaches 99%.
After about 6 to 10 months, you can start pairing with blind cells and train together. The owner learns how to work with a guide dog, how to command, how to feed and more. The puppy needs to know the living and working environment of the new owner. If the two sides cooperate tacitly, the guide dog will be taken home by the blind person, and the “job” will officially begin. The instructor will then conduct long-term follow-up counseling. For the happiness of dogs and the safety of blind people, guide dogs will retire after working until they are about 10 to 12 years old. The original user has the priority to keep the dog, but if some cannot be taken care of due to living alone or other factors, the original foster Applicants from families or “adopting families” can take over. Many families abroad apply for adoption, because guide dogs have very good upbringing and hygiene habits.
