I have an almost blind yorkie. He is 12 and has had abuse which caused eye damage in the past. I find that keeping to a routine in familiar surroundings is good. When I take him out of his environment he struggles and bumps into things. He relies on his sense of smell much more now. Also if your dog is not totally blind it is important to keep the surroundings well lit with bright light. My dog struggles also in dim light. Using a flashlight in dark rooms ahead of your dog will help.
