As I suggested, the thoughts mentioned in the blog are merely ideas. The feasibility of the ideas will have to be established by professionals. In recent times dogs have become a menace on campus and blind students have been facing challenges in different college campuses. There is strong opposition to the removal of dogs from animal lovers. At the same time there is strong need to make the campus safe.
There are two ideas mentioned in my blog. 1. Using stray dogs as guide dogs on campus 2.Using guide dogs in smaller towns where crowds, noise, traffic etc is relatively lower. The ideas are worth exploring Best, George. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Geetha Shamanna Sent: 15 June 2015 21:09 To: 'AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.' Subject: Re: [AI] Exploring Guide Dogs in India- exploring a few basic thoughts Hi George, While training stray dogs to work as guide dogs may sound like a win-win situation, it might not be practical due to the complexity of the job and the special breeds chosen for it. dogs receive training from a very young age before they are chosen to be guide dogs. Guide Dogs in the UK has a national breeding centre, where most dogs that go on to become guides are bred and trained. The training process for puppies is quite rigorous and many with the wrong temperament are rejected. Imparting such training to adult stray dogs with indeterminate breed and pairing them with willing blind clients may result in more harm than good.
