My childhood dog is a shih-tzu who lives with my parents and is completely blind and gets around just fine. She knows exactly where the furniture is and doesn't have any problems. If they move any furniture, it just takes her a couple days and she begins to figure it out.
I just always make sure to let her know when I'm going to pick her up so I don't scare her. Her hearing is bad too, so I just talk kind of loud, make loud steps and pet her softly so she isn't frightened. |
