Understanding Blind Dogs

Everything you need to know to get yourself and your blind or visually challenged dog on the path to a happy and fulfilled life.
Whether you are:
  • Living with a blind dog as a family member

  • Working with blind dogs as a canine professional in any capacity
  • Adopting a dog with a visual challenge

You will find amazing tips and information to guide you along your way.

This series of three webinars will provide you with the peace of mind that you can create the absolute best quality of life for your blind or visually challenged dog. Each topic is designed to build your understanding and your confidence so you can provide the best support and care for your dog.

Webinar 1

Help your dog navigate the world safely and confidently:

  • Understanding circling and spinning - why and what to do about it

I'm so glad you're here!

  • I've built this webinar series to help you along your path of living with, caring for, and teaching blind and visually challenged dogs. I know there is a lot of information out there to weed through. I know not all of it is true or useful. And I know it can be overwhelming to try to figure out what's what.

    I also know what it's like to live with and care for a blind dog on a daily basis - the joys, the challenges, the worries. I'm dedicated to providing you with the best, most up-to-date and helpful information there is as you get started on this journey with your dog.

    Facing this journey can be overwhelming, and I'm here to guide you along step by step with accurate and expert information so you will be empowered to make the best choices for your dog.

    Thank you for allowing me to guide you along this journey.
