Guide dog etiquette

This is a list of things that you should do when you see a guide dog team. Some are from the human, some are from the dog, and others are from both (noted after each). Honestly, this is just me ranting about things I do not like that people do

1)I may be cute but I've got a job, I am NOT here for you. -dog

2)if you want to do something nice, like hold a hold a door open please tell me, I'm not a jerk -human

3) don't pet the dog, just don't even ask, the answer is no, she's working. It's also distracting to the dog -human and dog

4) "over there" and anyother phrases like it don't help, they only frustrate. Play hot and cold with me I don't care-human

5) no, I don't want to hear about your dog (dead or otherwise) -human

6)I may wear glasses, but they don't "fix"my vision -human

7)I don't understand directions, tell my mom -dog

8) just because I'm in your class/ mom "knows" you does not give you petting privilege (see 1) -human and dog

These may seem like petty things to you but I don't speak up often, so I use writing .If you have questions please ask, I don't bite (hard, lol jk). I'd rather answer questions than rant. USE YOUR VOICE, EDUCATE YOURSELF, EDUICATE OTHERS.
