Dogs need direction, it is the owner who trains the dog as much as the dog working for the person; guide dogs have to be carefully matched to an owner who can carry on this partnership. I am sure that a guide dog, with all the effort that has been put into their training so far would not be wasted on a person who was not able to keep up that training with practice and rewards. They sense what a blind person cannot and then signal to their owner who then makes the decision of what to do next.
