Guide Dog Etiquette
You may have noticed the presence of a guide dog in recent weeks. Her name is Opal and she works with Morgan. Shawn will soon be getting his own dog. To help all of us we want to share some important guidelines about interacting with a guide dog.
Please do not pet or talk to the dog. She is always on the job, even if she looks like she’s taking a break.
A guide dog should never be distracted from its job. Please avoid making eye contact. Please do not offer treats.
Please do not touch the dog’s harness. If you sense that assistance is needed, please ask whether you can offer your arm for guidance.
Refrain from calling out directions to someone with a guide dog—they are a team and used to navigating the environment safely and independently.
Thank you for being a welcoming congregation.
