Partners in ExceptionalSM Fidelco.org/donate 1 The Power of Partnerships Our clients share a common goal—to experience life to the fullest. Their partnerships with our exceptional guide dogs make independence, safe travel, and social connection an enduring reality. “My guide dog, ‘Legend,’ is a godsend. He has changed my life in more ways than I ever thought he would. He’s happy and he loves me and gives me something to care for. On top of all that, he helps me walk down the street,” shares Retired Air Force TSgt and Fidelco client Matt Slaydon. This sense of joy – this hope for the future – that has been inspired by Legend is not something Matt takes for granted for a single moment. Nearly 10 years ago, while serving as the point person for an Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team (EOD) in Kirkuk, Iraq, Matt was severely injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) that detonated two feet away from his face, throwing him almost 30 feet from the blast site. His arm required immediate amputation, his face was shattered, and he was suddenly and completely blind. The next chapter was exceedingly difficult.

The information in this leaflet should give you a better understanding of what the job involves and help you with your decision. We are very happy to answer any questions you may have and can arrange for one of our Puppy Walking Supervisors to call you if you wish to discuss things further. Puppy walking is a crucial part of Guide Dogs’ work. Although done on a voluntary basis, it will take a lot of time, commitment and love from both you and your family. The end result, however, is a very special animal indeed. Developing the puppy As a prospective puppy walker, who will care for and develop one of our puppies, it is essential that you consider the following criteria and questions: Essential criteria for puppy walking A puppy needs to be welcomed into your home and understood by all the family. The puppy should be reared with the blend of affection, control and supervision normally given to a young child. As a prospective puppy walker, who will care for and walk one of our puppies, the following criteria are essential: • You must be at least 18 years of age to be responsible for the puppy. Whilst any children at home can enjoy lending a hand, it is important that any puppy training, e.g. lead work, is only carried out by a responsible person.

  • Emotional Support Animal (ESA)
    International Association of Canine Professionals Service Dog Committee HUD Assistance Animal and Emotional Support Animal definitions vs DOJ Service Dog (SD) Definition At this time, the IACP acknowledges the only country that we are aware of recognizing ESAs is the United States and therefore, the rules and regulations contained in this document are those of the United States. Service animals are defined as dogs (and sometimes miniature horses) individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or other mental disability. The tasks may include pulling a wheelchair, retrieving dropped items, alerting a person to a sound, guiding a person who is visually impaired, warning and/or aiding the person prior to an imminent seizure, as well as calming or interrupting a behavior of a person who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress. The tasks a service dog can perform are not limited to this list. However, the work or task a service dog does must be directly related to the person's disability and must be trained and not inherent. Service dogs may accompany persons with disabilities into places that the public normally goes, even if they have a “No Pets” policy. These areas include state and local government buildings, businesses open to the public, public transportation, and non-profit organizations open to the public. The law allowing public access for a person with a disability accompanied by a Service Dog is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) under the Department of Justice. Examples of Types of Service Dogs: · Guide Dog or Seeing Eye® Dog is a carefully trained dog that serves as a travel tool for persons who have severe visual impairments or are blind.

  • The Benefits of Guide Dog Ownership L
    Guide Dog Ownership The Benefits of Guide Dog Ownership L. Whitmarsh Guide Dogs, Hillfields, Burghfield, Reading RG7 3YG, UK Abstract There is an apparent discrepancy between the actual number of guide dog owners and the proportion of visually impaired people who might benefit from a guide dog. This research aims to provide an understanding of the reasons why many visually impaired people have not applied for a guide dog, the range of benefits offered by guide dogs, and how these might vary amongst different populations and under different circumstances. While previous research describes a number of psychological and social benefits of assistant animal ownership, consistent with the companion animal literature, it also points to the importance of personal and social context on the impact and effectiveness of assistance animals. The study described here involved a telephone survey of over 800 visually impaired people and found that independence, confidence, companionship, increased and changed social interaction, as well as increased mobility, are commonly-cited benefits of guide dog ownership. These psychological and social dimensions of owning a guide dog distinguish it from other mobility aids in its capacity to transform the lives of owners. However, as expected, demographic and contextual factors, such as gender, age, level of vision, and domestic circumstances, influence reasons for application and perceived benefits and drawbacks of guide dog ownership. The author argues that while this research has emphasised the tremendous impact a guide dog can have, providing the most appropriate mobility aid for an individual’s circumstances is the hallmark of effective rehabilitation service provision. The article also suggests ways in which perceived barriers to applying for a guide dog might be reduced.

  • The Role of Assistance Dogs in Society. Introduction Assistance Dogs Are
    The role of assistance dogs in society. Introduction Assistance dogs are dogs that are specially trained to undertake a variety of tasks to help individuals with disabilities. Their role is to allow people to achieve an optimal level of functional independence. The three most common types of assistance dogs in the UK are guide dogs, hearing dogs and mobility assistance dogs. Guide Dogs Guide dogs are trained to lead visually impaired individuals around various obstacles, offering increased mobility, location of objectives and destinations. They have arguably higher demands than the other types of assistance dogs (Whitmarsh, 2005). Guide dogs must learn to avoid environmental features which may come into contact with their owner, including objects at height. Training principles such as straight line work are introduced to aid user orientation, where the dog must walk only in straight lines unless requested otherwise. Stopping at each kerb they encounter is introduced for safety. The amount of learning for a guide dog is very high, however it is their decision making that sets them apart from other assistance dogs. Although it is the owner who announces when it is safe to cross a road, the dog too must be traffic aware, showing selective disobedience if their owner thinks it is safe to cross when it is not. Confidence in decision making is vital for a guide dog (Guide Dogs UK, 2014). [PHOTO] The use of guide dogs has been part of European culture for hundreds of years; however, the first ever training school for guide dogs in the UK, Guide Dogs UK, was founded in 1931 (Fishman, 2003).
