Hey
First of all, you do not change anything in the house, if the dog is not to bump into various objects then he must know where they are so that he does not get lost.
My friends have a dog who is deaf and blind and is also about 16 years old, sometimes he is with us when they go on vacation. Take care that there are never objects lying in the crosswalks. I remember him walking in circles around the room and not being able to get out of the room, and there was only another dog’s bed in the doorway, every time he hooked his foot on it he would change direction and make another circle around the room and another and another, etc…. By the way, he’s just an ordinary dog, only that he’s old. He likes to play with my dog, goes for short walks on a leash, eats twice a day, only need to go outside with him a little more often, but “slip-ups” sometimes happen, it’s rather that age and even waking up at night and going out with him didn’t help much.
