Where do guide dogs poop & who scoops it?

My mother & I were watching a movie about the first guide dog school for the blind. She asked this question & it got me to thinking... my guess is when they are exercised off harness, they go then & aren't allowed to go if they are working. Also they are trained to poop on command. I've heard people say they wear a poop bag type of thing while on duty, but I've never seen any guide dog with on one. Frankly, it sounds ridiculous.

Guide dogs are taught to toilet only on command at a very young age. They do not go when working and/or when the harness is on. They will also never ever go inside, on matter what even if they are busting and are not working. These dogs would quite simply rather die than go inside. To a degree it is like a brain or heart surgeon, they cannot say halfway through open heart surgery we need to stop now, I need to go to the toilet and nor can guide dogs. If a dog is not capeable of doing such things they are not placed in service. They are usually also taught to go on specific surfaces, in many countries around the world it is on grass and in the US they are usually curbed or taught to go in the gutter. They will go elsewhere if they are commanded and need to go but the handlers are encouraged to take them in these places.

Contrary to popular belief blind people are taught to pick up after the dog. They are taught to run their hand along the dogs back while they are going to know what they are doing, peeing or pooping and then they know whether to scoop or not. They know where the dogs backside is, and with a plastic bag over their hand they feel for the warmth and pick it up. Much like the average dog owner does in the dark. The main purpose of the surface and place to take them is incase something is missed, as it will not be on the main footpath, etc. Blind people often live in small apartments as they are easier for them to manage and so they rarely have yards for the dogs to use, and they travel, work, etc and the dog does need to go in other places as well.

A guide dog should never be wearing a poop bag type thing, whether on or off duty. If they have a medical condition and simply cannot be trusted to hold for the requried periods they would be off duty and basically kept at home on sick leave, much like people take time off from work when sick.

Put simply the dogs are trained to go on command, and to not go in harness, and the blind person is trained to pick up after the dog. Any dog that is not doing this either has a major medical condition, and/or needs some serious retraining. No program will place a dog which is toileting in harness, and is going at any time that is not on command.

"Learn Solar Panel" Guide - Read This Carefully !

If you research the web on a solar panel guide, then by all means, take a few moments to look over the following - it is going to shine some light on the subject of harnessing the sun's power. What if i told you that there is a groundbreaking solution that gives you a simple and effective way to use the sun's power to create electricity for an extremely low cost - wouldn't you be eager to learn more? Keep reading the following article.

In the recent past, incorporating a solar power system into your home's energy grid was often thought of as a noble gesture but was just too pricey for most, but some saw it as the ideal solution. a solar panel guide are now popular keywords for web searches, which clearly shows that there is a growing number of people with questions about what is possible in this electrifying new area.

The latest news in this field is that the time to easily 'solarize' your home is here and now and inexpensive enough for everyone to be able to take advantage of unlimited power at no-charge (unless someone finds a way to charge for sunshine)! Harnessing the sun's energy for personal use is a longstanding alternative, although it remained out of reach for the majority due to the price; thus we had no choice but to buy the electricity our families required, while paying these high bills month-by-month.

Before you continue your research on a solar panel guide, I want to share the news that, fortunately for us, a leading expert in the field of renewable energy has come up with a way for you to build your own solar panels and a complete solar power system, with low-cost and easy-to-find materials and a simple method for assembling them. It turns out that there are a large number of people in the u.s. and globally who already enjoy the benefits of solar power, to not only generate enough electricity for their own use, but in addition, actually make money by selling their extra power to the electric company. Since it's so easy to set up and put to use, the revolutionary solution is undoubtedly going to 'shake' the field of energy and electricity.

Is this a good idea, or a bad idea?

I am currently at college. I may not have a car next year (when my dog will live with me). He's a GSD. Would it be a bad idea to have a "guide dog in training" jacket, or a guide dog harness for him so that he can ride the bus with me?

There's a dog park I want to take him to that is a little ways away, so it'd be easier to ride the bus. Also, I worry that, if there's an emergency, I can't get him to the vet hospital. It's on campus, but I wouldn't want my dog to be walking, and I can't carry him that far.

Do you think bus drivers would be understanding if it was an emergency?

(I'm mostly worried about in an emergency. I don't think a cab would allow him either.)
My dog is already CGC and TDI certified.
Does CGC and TDI count for anything?
I know that people aren't allowed to question you about papers, it's illegal for them to ask for proof.

Technically all you have to say is that your dog is a "service dog" no certification of any kind is needed and tada you can take him with you...you can also say you have panic attacks and that he keeps you calm and you can actually have him certified. I think all of that is crap but hey it's there to use. Actually think of something wrong with you and if your dog is well trained and passes his cert test you can take him anywhere..that law is a little too fuzzy don't you think? But like I said, it's there to use.

A simple guide to investing in Art

A friend of mine due to hard times has sold some of his properties and one is a painting that belongs to his family years ago. He was astonished to know the "market value" of the said painting when he had it for appraisal. He doesn't realize what he had been admiring at their living room as child turns out as to what it can be considered a masterpiece!

Art can be lucrative if you had the eye and if you can research a little.

BUYING ART FOR THE NEWBIES

It is not simply for art for art's sake. You must really know what you want and if you are planning to display it at your house, condo or building. As art is very broad in terms of styles and kind. Asked yourselves if you want a landscape, an abstract, a still life, a pen and ink etc...

How much is your budget? How much are you willing to pay? Most paintings now a days are competitively priced but usually...if you are buying from a relatively unknown artist it can prove to be affordable and the same time it can also be gamble ( hoping the art or the artist in the future can turn out to be another Jackson Pollack, Picasso or Juan Luna).

Well known artist or established artist works are usually high priced but it can prove to be worth your money in the long run. The market value of the art you bought is usually tied up with just how well respected or career driven the artist was. The tendency is his or her price would surely go up if there is a demand for it especially if that artist becomes a national artist---you hit the goldmine!

When buying art works, it pays to asked around either an art curator, professional art dealer, an art gallery owner or used to your advantage harness the power of the net. But really nothing beats when it is recommended by close friends or relatives.

BUYING ART FOR BEGINNERS

1) You must know the difference between buying oil, watercolor, pastel or acrylic. It is important to know what art materials are involved with the creation of that art work you are buying. Materials used by the artist should be high quality so the colors would be preserve or retain for a long, long time.

2) Decide if you are going to buy directly from the artist itself, to an art dealer or go straight to the art gallery. Consider the framing, delivery and other services involved when negotiating with the price or what is included to your payment.

When buying through an art gallery, you usually get to know the profile of the artist and essentially getting a proof or certificate that what your buying is real not fake (as in original) and also verify if it has several reproductions already such as the print version.

If you are buying directly from the artist, you have the option to ask for an authentication paper complete with the artist's signature.

3) Regardless if what you bought is from a relatively unknown artist or considered a masterpiece, you should also know how to preserve or maintain it. As time goes by it will be moisture and humidity to be the art pieces main enemy! Colors can fade. A retouch might be needed. Furthermore, don't expose the painting to the sunlight as the harmful ultra violent rays can affect the colors of the paintings.

4) Your art should reflect your aesthetic taste. Choose art that can help you relax like a landscape or underwater. An art that can make you think like abstracts, an art that reflects your dreams and fantasies like surreal paintings. It brings out your personality and something that brings a certain kind of fulfillment---one that you can be truly proud of hanging at your walls.

5) You must remember value or price of your art work will not go up over night. Hence, treat it like a mutual fund or a time deposit.

6) Always buy from reliable sources. The traditional way is still the best there is.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN RE-SELLING YOUR ART

1) Finding a prospective buyer is not easy. Unless, you have a cultured/art loving network. You can off course go through the expert hands of an professional art dealer or art gallery owner but they also get a great deal of share of your selling price.

2) Keep all the receipts, relevant documents like a copy of artist resume or any proofs of ownership. Especially if is a high end piece of art work.

Later on with enough experience you can build a collection that you can benefit from it in the long run. Always remember...time is your friend; don't assume you can profit from your art work right away. The good news is...art doesn't really decline instead its price usually goes up!

In the meantime, enjoy that priceless beauty of the art work you had purchased.
