Is it not only recommended but also part of the law that our dogs must be
wearing a harness to designate them as guide dogs?
I mean, if you are just leading the dog around on the leash, allowing it to
sniff around etc then, it is not acting as a guide.
I urge folks to, please, for the rest of us out here using guides, keep your
harness on.

working every day or otherwise it would get frustrated, bored, angry,
depressive... And others say it's completely fine to work the dog as often
as you need to and in the mean time let it just be a happy dog, with play
time and paying attention to it of course.

and others who are fine with one or two lazy days in between.

is? What if I twisted my ankle and would want to cure it for five days or
so? Would it be okay to neglect guide work then?
