Default Blind Dog

I had a blind German Shepard, had very little sight in one of her eyes, the other was totally blind. When I adopted her, someone gave me a great tip that I would like to share with you......Every time she came near an obstacle, like a couch, chair or whatever, I said "be careful". She got to know that every time I said those words, she would stop and go around it , or go slow. You can use whatever word you like, but this worked great for my Annie.... Also, which is obvious, if you move furniture, or add anything new, walk your dog around it a few times so they get familiar . I went through a move with her, and she did great.....
