Did you know that guide dogs are actually trained to ‘smartly disobey’ their owners?

This is called ‘Intelligent Disobedience.’ It means when an owner says ‘forward,’ but the guide dog sees danger - like a car running a red light or a deep hole ahead - the dog will refuse to obey the command to keep their owner safe!

The hardest part of training guide dogs is teaching them to find the balance between ‘always obeying’ and ‘protecting their owner.’ They need to learn when they should listen and when they should stick to their own judgment.

And guide dogs also remember places they visit often! Some guide dogs can even take their owners to swimming pools or coffee shops without any extra directions.
