It’s interesting to hear about what life is like for blind people in other countries. I was born blind, and I live in the USA.

To answer the question about whether the US guide dog schools use "toileting "harnesses, yes, some due to an extent. For example, The Seeing Eye will issue them to students if requested. I don't know about other schools, but I do know that other handler/owner trainers also use them. We call them relieving harnesses here. The lady who makes them is Julie Johnson from On The Go Gear, and it was she who developed the style that Seeing Eye uses. It might cost more because of shipping, but perhaps she would be able to ship one or two for Rachel to the UK. They are handy, but I don't use them all the time, as it's just much faster to pick up the traditional way. But a rellieving harness does come in very handy when there is a lot of snow on the ground. You could also possibly find someone to make one.
