Keep your dog on the leash for the first few times you take it to the dog park. This will let it get used to its surroundings. It's also a good idea to go when it won't be very crowded. Once your dog becomes familiar with the park, you can let it off the leash, but you'll still have to pay attention to how the dog interacts with others. Dog parks can be noisy places, so bring a dog whistle. Use the whistle at home when you call your dog so it associates the specific whistle with you. Then when you use the whistle at the dog park, your dog will recognize your whistle and locate you more easily. Some blind dogs may swipe or nip if they're surprised by someone or another animal. To prevent your blind dog from being unpleasantly startled, explain to people that they should talk to the dog before approaching it. This is especially important in new situations or when the dog is around children. If you have other pets, put bells on their collars, so the blind dog can always hear where they are. Blind dogs love to play as much as sighted dogs, so purchase toys that make noise for your dog to play with. For example, buy squeak toys or dog toys that have bells and play fetch with your blind dog. You can also purchase essential oils or sprays to spritz on the toys. This will help your dog locate them as you play.  Ensure that there aren't loose bells on the toys that your dog could choke on. Choose dog-safe essential oils that aren't harmful to your pet. Blind dogs can become lonely if they're left alone for long periods of time. If you know you'll be gone for a while, turn on the radio or television so your dog can listen to sounds. When you are home, be in the habit of talking to your dog. You can describe what you're doing, thinking, or seeing. Although some blind dogs prefer to stay home, many enjoy a daily walk to a familiar park. Always take the same route so your dog doesn't become confused or anxious, and give it lots of time to stop and smell along the way. Taking your blind dog on a daily walk will help it become confident and secure in its surroundings. Over time, introduce new places to walk, but give the dog time to become comfortable. You'll notice your dog leading you forward or urging you to take it for a walk.
