What Guide dogs do Guide dogs are assistance dogs trained to lead blind and visually impaired people around obstacles.assistance dogsblindvisually impaired Although the dogs can be trained to navigate various obstacles, they are partially (red– green) colour blind and are not capable of interpreting street signs. The human half of the guide dog team does the directing, based upon skills acquired through previous mobility training. The handler might be likened to an aircraft's navigator, who must know how to get from one place to another, and the dog is the pilot, who gets them there safely.colour blindstreet signshuman
