“Guide Dog Etiquette” Important Information from Fidelco Guide Dogs! Take a listen to this very important podcast with Fidelco on Do's & Don'ts - it could save lives! 
When “in harness” the Guide Dog is working. So, what is “best” etiquette for people?
Eliot Russman, President and CEO of Fidelco Guide Dogs: "Do not create any distraction: don’t attempt to pet the guide dog, talk to it, call out, whistle…you get the idea. Any distraction of a guide dog’s focus on its job creates serious risk for dog and handler. It’s all about keeping the team safe."
What should someone do if their pet dog, wants to say hello to a working Guide Dog???
In a word: don’t. In two words: walk away.
We need our working Guide Dog teams safe!Please visit FIDELCO to donate, volunteer and check out upcoming events.
