The stage for guide dogs
The first stage of training is usually undertaken by volunteer families who raise guide dogs and puppies. Of course, in addition to training tasks, the most important thing is to give puppies a good diet and health care, so that they can grow up healthily. 12 months later, these special puppies will be sent to the guide dog training school for intensive professional training for 5 months. The work at this stage is undertaken by professional trainers. The school day begins at 7 am. At 7: 00, the dogs were taken outdoors, cleaned and worked hard, and then waited for breakfast. Dogs are trained to eat only when their owners say they can eat. After training for a whole day, I returned to the kennel to rest at 8 pm. There are two days off on Saturday and Sunday. Dogs can enjoy playing, bathing and playing without learning and training. Strict work and rest schedule is to train dogs to adapt to the diet, daily life and work and rest schedule of future owners. In addition, guide dogs are trained to go to the toilet after hearing instructions. This is because some owners may work in the office for a long time in the future, and dogs not only need to wait patiently, but also need to pee.

In the whole training program, the trainer should evaluate the dog students from the following aspects: learning attitude, learning willingness or dislike of learning; Learning initiative and concentration skills; Whether you are nervous and aggressive, whether you are easily distracted by the surrounding environment, such as other cats and dogs, whether you are too active and can't be quiet for a long time, etc. Ma Weisi, a hotel dog employee, was eliminated from the guide dog training school because he loved activities too much and could not wait quietly for a long time. For details, please see the full-time dog staff of luxury hotels. The last month of guide dog training is attended by guide dogs and their future owners. They have to learn how to work with guide dogs, how to command them, how to feed them, how to give dogs a health check, how to get along with them and so on. Dogs should know the living environment, working environment and so on of the new owner; Both sides should know each other's living habits, schedule, personality, language and behavior characteristics. At this point, the training of a guide dog has been completed. Under normal circumstances, guide dogs have to take part in tests and retraining when changing their owners, so as to test whether the guide dogs still have their due abilities.
