Happy National Blind Dog Day! These dogs truly deserve our admiration and should be celebrated like any other pup. In honour of these unique pups, here are 4 fun facts to help celebrate them.
Blind dogs are trainable.
It’s easy to assume that if a dog is unable to see, there’s no way they will be able to learn any tricks, right? Wrong! Sight is not the primary sense in dogs. They can even participate in agility trainable because they’re that magnificent!
They use scent to get around.
Blind dogs are not bound to a single room of a house. They learn how to adapt and map out their surroundings in a short amount of time. You can use different scents to help your blind pup navigate and pebbles to indicate where they should no longer venture further. These guys can use the stairs and jump on couches, too!
They can benefit from having a sighted dog in the same house.
A sighted canine companion can do amazing things for your blind pooch! These pups can act as companions and help guide your blind pooch as they navigate through the world. This kind of bond is amazing to see and is unlike any other.
Blind dogs enjoy life.
These amazing pups love life and enjoy typical doggy dates like walks, car rides or just a good cuddle on the couch! They are not limited to being stuck at home or unable to enjoy a good playtime. You may need to help navigate your pup in certain situations, but your blind pup can have fun and enjoy the little things just like the rest of us!
