What can guide dogs do when they're at home?
When a guide dog is out of the harness they are just pet dogs. So at home a guide dog will act just like any well trained pet and will sleep, play, etc.
Do guide dogs live in the homes of their handlers?
Yes, of course. Guide dogs are beautifully mannered and well suited to living in homes. If they weren't, who would want them in grocery stores and restaurants? While they need fresh air and exercise...
What if the guide dog doesn't do it's job at home?
Then you get a new guide dog or retrain the old one. Preferrably retrain the old one because it might face what us human's consider the "death penalty".
When can guide dogs go home with their owners?
a guide dog generally starts formal training at about 18 months old, training last about 6mths, if all goes well so about 24-25 months old:)
Why does guide dogs have to be dogs?
An animal leading the visually-impaired does not always have to be a dog! In fact, there were Miniature Horses used for this task.
