Advanced leaf carrying

Guide dog puppy training doesn't usually get to the leaf carrying stage until later in the course.
Leaf carrying is important for the following reasons:
- It increases jaw/eye coordination
- It makes for sustained concentration
- It helps with the aerodynamics, encouraging laminar flow around the nose.
- It allows people to stop you in the street and ask "why is she carrying a leaf" and so encouraging social interaction.
For all these reasons leaf carrying is seen as beneficial.





Yes all of that above is made up. Hey it's a slow news day
