Hello zoners!
I have a serious question to ask all of you. How did you deal with takeing your guide dogs out in the frigid winter? I am in the applacation prosess of getting one, and the extreems of weather are the only thing conserning for me. I am almost under wate, so feal the cold alot. I no that the relationship I have with my dog will make it worth it, but any tips on kinds of clothes etc would be a really big help. Also, does your dog need to ware any kinds of clothes? I am planning on putting dog boots on him/her, but I wondered if any clothes options would help keep him/her happy and comfortable.
Thanks for your help!
Tracey

ditra got a coat for cold weather. she's not really used to it when it comes to working in harness, but, as with anything else in life, she'll adjust to it in time.

Lilo loves her clothes, and as long as it doesn't hamper them working in hharness, they can get used to it.
