Caring for a blind dog can be very difficult and challenging for the owner. There are a few things that you can do to make things a little easier for you as well as your pet. Together, you can accomplish many great things. The home is a very important place for you as well as your pet. It's were family gets together, comes to visit, and have great gatherings. If you have not already done so, make him a part of the family. Dogs are very loving animals and love attention and affection just as we humans do. Feelings and emotions are very important. Let your little pup know that you love him and that you consider him a valuable part of your family. A dog's senses are pretty cool. They are able to tell when you're mad, sad, happy, or even frustrated. Be sure that you don't take any anger out on the dog. Just because the new family member can't see, that does not mean that he is not capable of doing things on his own. Do not disable him. Your dog can become very self sufficient, but only if you give him the chance to. Surely there will be a few things that he will not be able to do, but let him explore a little. When you bring your new best friend home, make sure he or she feels welcomed. Dogs can sense emotions and feelings very well. Before you let him walk around and get used to things, take him through every part of his new home. If there are places in the house where he shouldn't be, don't make that part of the route. This way, he won't be used to going in, out, or around these specific areas. If he wants to stop and sniff for a few seconds, let him. He is just trying to familiarize himself with the new room. It may not be new to you, but to him it is. Speaking of purpose, the bell goes around the dog's neck so that you will be able to hear him as he wonders about the house. The whistle is for you and the pet both. You can train your dog to respond to the whistle. You can set special whistle codes for your dog to learn and to respond to. Be careful about switching a room around. Your little buddy remembers things being a certain way. If you go switching and changing things around, he will feel lost and will not know what to do. Since he can't see where he's going or where he is, it's a good idea to leave things the way they were when you first brought him home. This way, he is familiar with the home setting and can get around easily.
