The Seeing Eye has developed a free app for Apple/iOS and Google/Android to provide information about the U.S. and Canadian laws that ensure guide dog handlers have access to public places and protect them from interference from people and other dogs. The app also contains some educational materials The Seeing Eye has developed on these topics including the Guide Dog At Work campaign and our taxi and rideshare flier.

To download the app from Apple’s App Store, go to this link: https://apps.apple.com/app/the-seeing-eye-advocacy/id6446094763

From the Google Play store for Android, the link is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thegrandscheme.theseeingeyeadvocacy

If you want to locate the app by using the search function, we recommend you type “The Seeing Eye Advocacy” into the search box for best results.

We hope this will be a useful resource for those of us who are guide dog handlers; guide dog instructors who want to know the laws when they are traveling with dogs and working in the field with students and graduates; business owners; dog owners who want to know how to manage their pet dogs around guide dogs; and anyone else who might need or want the information.

We could not have done this without the hard work and determination of staff and the developer we contracted with to design the app. The support and encouragement from our Seeing Eye graduate community has been invaluable during this process.

We will need to make periodic updates to fix bugs and to update information about the laws as they change, so we appreciate your feedback! You can reach out to us at advocacy@seeingeye.org.
