But the sounds of clicker, finger-snapping, hand-clapping are still clear for her. I have taught her several touch/tactile cues. Those are very useful to help [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Blind dogs can&#8217;t visually and instantly recognize the situation they are in and what is going to happen to them. It&#8217;s disturbing to them. It&#8217;s natural that some dogs become overly sensitive and reactive to be touching and/or sounds after they have eye trouble or lost their sight. If you ignore your blind dog&#8217;s feeling [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Each visually impaired dog has different difficulties. Eye condition, such as one-sided blindness, amblyopia (low visual acuity), complete blindness, and process of vision loss produce different fears in dogs. Dogs having vision in only one eye can&#8217;t detect objects in the side of the eye losing vision. So they can feel that objects pop up [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This blog post has additional information on &#8220;shaping&#8221;. In previous blog post, I recommended to use &#8220;shaping&#8221; method as much as possible in training bind dogs because it can encourage their creativity and imagination and enhance their life. The word &#8220;shaping&#8221; is hardly used in daily life. Many of you might haven&#8217;t heard it before. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I recommend that you choose and use &#8220;shaping&#8221; as much as possible than &#8220;luring&#8221; when you teach something to your blind dog. It&#8217;s because &#8220;shaping&#8221; can not only produce desirable behavior but also give a blind dog the opportunity to make the most of her creativity and imagination, and the thrill in finding new thing.
