Editorial Review: Long-awaited, finally available — A training film for blind-dog owners! Training any dog is hard work. Training a blind dog can be extra challenging. So, when author Caroline Levin was approached by dog owners requesting help, we caught those sessions on film.
Whether you have a large, active dog, like Bubba, losing his vision slowly - or a small, shy dog like Leo, completely blind from detached retinas - this film can help you. Levin guides each dog and owner through the skills discussed in Chapter 8 of "Living With Blind Dogs". Additional footage includes demonstrations with more advanced dogs.
