Training any dog is hard work. Training a blind dog can be extra challenging. So, when author Caroline Levin was approached by dog owners requesting help, we caught those sessions on film. Whether you have a large, active dog, like Bubba, losing his vision slowly -- or a small, shy dog like Leo, completely blind from detached retinas - this film can help you. Additional footage includes demonstrations with more advanced dogs. Levin also discusses training theory, equipment, and dog-training issues specific to SARD dogs (confusion, lethargy, depression). Approximate running time: 48 minutes.
