Training your blind dog will give her confidence and help alleviate depression, dependency and fear. Proper training will also make it easier, and safer, for your blind dog to participate in everyday activities with you.
Training the “Sit” Cue
- Give the cue “Sit.”
- Place a tasty-smelling food treat right next to your dog’s nose and mouth at the same time.
- Keep the food treat close to your dog’s nose and slowly take the treat up and over its head. Doing this will lead your dog into a sit.
- Say “Yes” the instant your dog sits, and give him a food treat and praise.
Training the “Down” Cue
- Start your “Down” cue by first giving your dog the “Sit “cue.
- Hold a food treat close to your pet’s nose, and then give the cue “Down.”
- Take the treat slowly down to the ground between your dog’s legs. This should lead your dog into the down position.
- Say “Yes” when the trick is accomplished, and give your dog treats and praise.
