Abstract

Results of a study to measure compatibility and the success or failure of the relationship between a person and his or her first guide dog were published in the proceedings of the 11th International Mobility Conference (Lloyd, La Grow, Budge & Stafford, 2003). This presentation builds on these findings by discussing how feelings at the end of the partnership affect the handlers’ relationships with subsequent dogs, and shows trends in the dataset concerning multiple dog use. The effects of being without a dog, after experiencing guide dog mobility, on quality of life will also be presented.
