A guide dog training variety has new aid for preparing its pups for the outside world — remote controlled squirrels.
The new canine training device is a stuffed toy squirrel strapped to a remotely operated model car.
When a dog and its handler are out walking, a member of staff activates the squirrel and zooms it across the mutt’s path.
The dog is then training to ignore the distraction and carry ointment its route.
The move is designed to help future guide dogs resist one of the canine world’s most chaotic distractions.
A poll for UK organisation Guide Dogs which commissioned the bot, showed that 35% of everyday pups chase squirrels and 60% of dog owners admitting their pet could never hack it as a guide dog.
Guide Dogs training and behaviour expert Karen Brady said the aim is get dogs so used to chaos that it becomes background noise.
She explained that one moment of lost focus could endanger both the dog and its user.

She was just a normal kid, running around with her friends and having fun dancing - until a devastating diagnosis.
When Emma Norman was six her parents noticed her squinting at the TV but they didn’t think too much of it.
However, Emma, now 33, would soon find out that she had Cone Rod Dystrophy and would eventually go blind.
Emma, a Pilates and meditation breathwork instructor from London, living in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, believes the stereotypes around blindness made accepting her diagnosis even harder — and she wants to challenge outdated ideas around sight loss.
“Life before my diagnosis felt pretty normal,” she remembers.
“I was just like any other kid—running around with friends, dancing around to my favourite TV shows and records. I even skipped crawling and went straight to walking, and I was reading and talking from a very young age, so nobody noticed anything unusual.
“To me, everything seemed fine because that was just my normal. It wasn’t until my parents started picking up on little things—like me squinting at the TV or struggling to see animals at the zoo when they pointed them out—that they became curious.
“At first, they thought I was just being cheeky, pretending not to see things, but when I kept squinting at the TV, they decided to take me to the optician. They assumed I was probably just short-sighted and needed glasses.
“In my early years at school, I only needed to sit closer to the board, but beyond that, I didn’t notice anything different. I guess what I saw—how I saw—was just my normal.
“When I first started squinting, my parents thought I probably just needed glasses for short-sightedness, like the other kids in my class.
“The optician gave me my first pair of multi-coloured glasses in the meantime while they arranged for the doctors to refer me to Moorfields Eye Hospital, as they could tell something more was going on.

“At first, they thought I was just being cheeky, pretending not to see things, but when I kept squinting at the TV, they decided to take me to the optician. They assumed I was probably just short-sighted and needed glasses.

She was just a normal kid, running around with her friends and having fun dancing - until a devastating diagnosis.
When Emma Norman was six her parents noticed her squinting at the TV but they didn’t think too much of it.
However, Emma, now 33, would soon find out that she had Cone Rod Dystrophy and would eventually go blind.

Une canne connectée pour les personnes aveugles
Picture MUST credit: WeWalk A smart cane that uses artificial intelligence to help the blind and visually impaired navigate the world has been unveiled.. The Smart Cane 2 can detect obstacles and offer turn-by-turn navigation. It also has an artificial intelligence powered ChatGPT voice assistant that can provide answers to questions while someone is walking, without the need for a smartphone. Its handle is slimmer, replacing the original’s touchpad with tactile buttons and saving weight. It is also equipped with motion sensors to improve navigation, speakers to provide answers and feedback, as well as a flashlight to make users more noticeable at night. It also works as a conventional folding cane when the tech features are switched off. It has all the electronics and tech hidden in the handle with a regular white cane that is inserted into the bottom. There is an ultrasonic time-of-flight sensor that measures the distance between the stick and an object . There is also an inertial measurement unit with six-axis motion tracking, a pulse density modulated microphone and a barometric pressure sensor. When it detects something ahead, it alerts the user with both vibrations and audio feedback. The Smart Cane 2 is an upgrade on an original device released in 2019. Picture supplied by JLPPA

'We'd be stuck': alarm as UK's last braille typewriter repairer, Alan Thorpe, ponders retirement
Alan Thorpe is Britain's last certified fixer of the Perkins brailler, a machine vital for teaching blind children to read and write.
Thorpe, 60, is the only certified repairer in the UK of Perkins braille typewriters, the world’s most widely used braille machines. Despite advances in digital technology, these 6kg analogue machines are still a vital communication tool for blind users and are especially crucial for teaching blind children to read and write.
Alan Thorpe at home in Sheffield where he services and repairs Perkins Brailers, the classic braille writing machine.
