We the Baráthegyi Guide Dog school celebrate International Guide Dog Day on the 27th of April with several events throughout the country. We are waiting for everyone who is interested in it on Saturday prior to the day.
The aim of this program is to bring attention to visually impaired people and the importance of guide dogs,
The second guide-dog-hike of the year on Hármashatár Hill was spent in really high spirits with a lot more people attending than expected. Fortunately the weather was kind to the hikers so everyone could enjoy the warm spring sunshine all through the day.
The morning of the second day of spring was all about the puppies-in-training.
„Go out!” – this is the command our guide-dogs-in-training are given when they go outside to practice. On their way out of the building they have to bypass obstacles that their trainers set up for them from time to time.
Developing problem solving skills constitutes an essential part of the guide dogs’ training programme.
In the February edition of Visionary, the magazine of the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF) readers can learn about the human side of man’s best friend and get an insight into a unique technology concept called 3D Soundscapes that can aid orientation, navigation and transport in cities and greatly enhance the quality of life for blind and visually impaired people.
