The first thing you should do is check your house for things that they can run into, knock down, fall into, or trip over.Due to these unique challenges, we highly recommend that your blind dog have an exclusive safe spot, other than his sleeping area, to retreat to.WALKING & JOGGING: With a few simple precautions blind dogs can still go for walks.
Jogging on flat ground with a dog that has become blind is still possible with a bit of encouragement, caution, and awareness on your part.SOUNDS: Although dogs can hear a wider range of sounds than humans, this is not an effective means of navigation for dogs because of their poor ability to determine what direction a sound is coming from.When possible, leave a small radio on to give them some additional orientation, especially when they wake up from a deep sleep.SPECIAL COMMANDS: You should teach your blind dog the special command "watch out" ASAP.
