Guidog is a guide dog harness for blind people, which has been designed in cooperation with users. The harness is made of durable and breathable materials, which makes it more comfortable for both users. The most important goal of the project was to reinforce the flow of information transmitted from the dog’s front paws to the handle, which allows the blind person to avoid obstacles. That is why Guidog has a plastic shell underneath the textile layer, which makes it more rigid than conventional harnesses. The rigid structure, on the other hand, transmits more vibrations, which increases its efficiency. In addition, the harness has two interchangeable handles.
