Hints from Heloise - Guide dog team and how to approach

Ingredients

  • Always greet the owner first. Whatever side the guide dog is on (most work on the left), approach from the other side.
  • Do not approach a team while in the middle of a task. Wait until the task is completed.
  • to not pet a guide dog without asking the owner’s permission. Some owners will allow you to pet the dog, and others will not. Do not get your feelings hurt if the owner says no.
  • Do not call out or whistle at a guide dog. The owner’s safety is dependent on the guide dog maintaining focus. So do not distract the guide dog.
