I was recently ask how do blind people clean up
poop from their dogs. Seemed like an impossible job
for the owners to do, because they can't see it.
After doing some research on the subject I found
out that I fell into the trap, like many other people, that blind
people would need some help.
The blind may not be able to see, but they adapt by using
their other senses. They are trained along with their dog on how
to do this task, just like people that can see learns how to do a
job. The only difference is that the dog and his owner work
together as a team.
The dogs are trained to go on command and go in a
designated area with the owner being present. The dog owners
puts their hand on the dogs back and simply follows the back
down the back leg and feels for the poop, with a plastic bag on
their hand.
I would like to apologize for falling into the trap, that you
would need some help. I hope this article answers the
question, on how blind people work with their partners to pick up
dog poop.
If you have any comments or more information on the subject
please leave a comment.
