I saw this video today with a blind dog doing agility (very slowly) but it's out there doing stuff!
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/imagin...bles-innovationThis is a video of a blind dog doing obedience!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4OyCtuWT2MA lot of trust between dog and human in both videos. I just find the amount of time that these owners have put into their dogs amazing, to take them to these levels and know that just because it can't see doesn't mean it can't do! Dedication and love at its best!

The first link didn't end up with the agility.
But the second one was the obedience, absolutely wonderful. Dogs are amazing about their capabilities and if one sense is lost they make it up with their others. Their nose is the most important attribute and then ears and eyesight. Took about patience, perserverance and love with her animal. Very commendable on her part. Touched my heart.

See if this link works. Think I know what happened last time, too many pages open, trying to do too many things! This should be the agility one. Sorry everyone.

I noticed she must of had a bell attached to her somewhere, that is a wonderful idea. The amount of time that would have gone into that. Sounds a bit nasty but the lady's voice grated on my nerves. lol. Beautiful clip.

The lady also looks like she's about to go backpacking she's got so much stuff on her belt! I hate listening and watching myself on video/tape (that's not me on that clip) but you know what I mean. Bells are often used for blind dogs, you can use different sizes on different dogs as each bell has its own tone so the blind dog knows which dog is near it if you live in a multi dog house.
