GDB Training escalators platforms and subways May 2009

Guide Dogs for the Blind trains in real-life situations such as escalators, stairs and subway platforms. Note how Instructor Ben Cawley gives the dog a cue to turn left, on to the subway tracks, but the dog disobeys. This technique is called "intelligent disobedience." The dog will refuse a request if doing so would put the team in danger. These dogs save people's lives every day!
