[NAGDU] Just out of curiosity

[Monse]

Hi.

In my opinion dogs are dogs, trained or not, and need to interact with each other. I think it would be like if I wouldn’t allow my son to play with kids that aren’t receiving the same education or aren’t going to the same type of school. I’ve found very beneficial that my dog interacts with other dogs as much as possible, since he doesn’t have this desire to play or greet dogs when he’s in harness.

As for fenced yards I think they are good, but probably not large enough to run freely, plus  He won’t find the same distractions than in outdoor places.

hi everyone, I took my guide dog Gabe to the dog park shortly after i got him because he needed to burn off energy. However, when I got to the park a larger dog was attacking a chihuahua, and the dog's owner did nothing to stop it. I was so upset that I vowed to never set foot in a dog park again. When i was in class at the Seeing Eye to get my current dog, Barbara we were advised not to take our guides to dog parks because most of the dogs are undisciplined and untrained.

If you want your dog to socialize with another dog, it would be good to find a friend with a fenced yard so that they can be supervised more effectively.

Hi all.

So I asked on a guide dog users list from my country if someone wanted to do
walks once a week to exercise their dog and no one answered. 3 months later
I asked if someone would like to take their dog to a local dog park so that
my dog and theirs could socialize, and again no answer.

My question is this: do you folks who have program dogs have any restriction
as far as taking your dog to dog parks, outdoor areas or socialize your dog
with other non-assistance dogs is concerned? I ask this because maybe I'm
asking something that's not allowed without me knowing it.

Thanks a lot!
