The dogs are trained to provide independence and mobility to people who are blind or visually impaired.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe dog will stop at the curb, and I give it a hand motion to go right or left, and it helps me walk to the curb,\u201d said Shannon. \u201cThey can also help find escalators and look for elevators. Guide dogs can know the word \u2018elevator\u2019 and they can find them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shannon also discussed how guide dogs learn to work in crowds, locate a ramp at light rail platforms, identify empty seats on trains and buses, find&nbsp;counters and trash cans in unfamiliar spaces, navigate revolving doors, and help their handler manage safely in areas with no sidewalks or paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She highlighted the importance of understanding that guide dogs are working animals, not pets, and distractions like petting or making eye contact can interfere with their ability to assist their handlers. She therefore stressed the need for increased public awareness for the safety of handlers and their guide dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guide Dog Awareness Month is as a reminder of the critical work performed by these animals. Through the efforts of organizations like the California Association of Guide Dog Users, progress continues to be made toward greater inclusion and understanding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Shannon and Irish demonstrate, guide dogs are essential in maintaining the independence and safety of people with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about guide dog programs or how to support these incredible animals, visit the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nfbcal.org%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Csteve.lyle%40cdfa.ca.gov%7Cfee57530b91b45b64a9708dcd81a684a%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C638622855150077312%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=xGvm8C29I1P12ELhhpAygrNsaICQTCflF3jGxB7cVis%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Federation of the Blind of California<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recognition of\u00a0 September as\u00a0Guide Dog Awareness Month, CDFA\u2019s Disability Advisory Committee has been welcoming furry, trained canine guests to agency headquarters.
