[NAGDU] guide dogs and pet dogs

[lkeeler at comcast.net]

   I do as weell! When I first braught my guide dog home a little growling 
went on from the pet but, they settled it pretty quick. Now with current 
pet, we got him when he was 2 months old. They have a great time together. 
Both my pets were little boys and almost as easy going as Holly.

Hi, Anne,

I have had several dogs along with my guides. They do OK. You carefully
introduce and certainly maintain your own special care of the guide as the
new dog is checking in. If you've had the dog a while it might not matter
too much. Mine is retired now  and my husband is taking him out for me so I
can keep stairs at a minimum, but he is still every bit as devoted to me as
he was before he retired. I think it should work.

Hi,
Does anyone here own both a guide dog and pet dog?  If so, have you had any
issues with either dog?
I just got my first guide dog about a month ago, and my boyfriend who lives
with me is thinking of getting a pet dog.
Does the guide dog still understand their role as a guide dog?  Does the pet
dog get upset that it stays home while the guide leaves?  Any issues with
territory, or sharing?
I'm not worried about my guide dog; she grew up with several dogs, and loves
other dogs we see, but pet dogs are raised so much differently.
Thanks,
Anne
