Why can’t guide dogs play ball? Guide dogs are the eyes of the blind.

Why guide dogs can’t play with balls

The reason why guide dogs can’t play with balls is because guide dogs are working dogs, and dogs naturally like to play with balls. If the dog only cares about chasing the ball and forgets about work, it will endanger the life of the blind person. So don’t give your guide dog a ball to play with, as this will distract the dog. Guide dogs are the eyes of the blind, so don’t cause trouble with their work.
