Let's go!
00:02
Let me introduce you to Nawak, who in a few months will become a guide
00:06
and will help a blind person in their daily journeys.
00:30
The difference between a dog and a cane is that with a cane,
00:33
you go against obstacles, you avoid them,
00:37
so you touch the obstacle all the time.
00:40
With a dog, you have a way of slaloming and you no longer feel the obstacles.
00:44
You also have the side of the dog where you are not alone in the street,
00:49
so you have a relationship with your dog,
00:52
which sometimes makes you feel a little less alone.
00:55
In addition, it creates a good social bond.
00:57
Nawak, forward!

All our blind people are different.
01:21
We have elderly people who need a calm dog,
01:24
but we also have very sporty blind people,
01:26
or people who work and do a lot of things
01:28
and who need a dog with a lot of resistance
01:30
and great ability to work.
01:32
But the main thing is to have a sociable dog
01:34
and that he is as fearless as possible in the street.
01:50
The dog, when he joins the association,
01:52
he is about one year old
01:54
and he works for eight months of effective time.
01:57
He works about two hours a day
01:59
to go outside.
02:01
At the beginning, we work the dog at ease
02:03
and then we put what you see here on his back,
02:06
a rigid harness
02:08
that allows you to feel the dog's movements.
02:11
When the dog moves forward,
02:13
I feel that he is training me.
02:15
And on the other hand, when he makes a stop,
02:17
for example, the dog is blocked,
02:19
so it allows me to know that I have to stop.
02:23
During his outings,
02:25
the dog learns to walk straight on a sidewalk,
02:27
as I told you,
02:29
to stop at each edge of the sidewalk
02:31
and to avoid all kinds of obstacles.
02:33
Here we have the sidewalk that is blocked,
02:35
so the dog stops
02:37
and brings the person to the edge of the sidewalk.
02:39
Come on, forward.
02:41
To the left.
02:43
The dog must also learn his directions
02:45
so that the blind person can define his course
02:49
and command his dog
02:51
to the right, to the left,
02:53
wherever he wants.
02:55
Another job of our dog to teach him
02:57
is also all that is research work.
02:59
The search for a staircase,
03:01
or the search for a door or a seat
03:03
so that the person can,
03:05
especially when she goes to an administration
03:07
or a public park,
03:09
settle on a bench, for example.
03:23
Come on.
03:33
Come on, baby.
03:35
After the effort, the comfort.
