Don’t! • When a Guide Dog is in harness, it is working. Whether it is walking, sitting or sleeping, it should not be: • PATTED • FED or • DISTRACTED
Dos • Please talk to the person, not the Guide Dog. • Keeping your pet dogs on lead in the public places also helps Guide Dogs to maintain their concentration.
Remember! • Ask politely if the owner needs any help.
