Intelligent Disobedience a dogs ability to avoid danger.

I thought about how we humans sometimes lack the ability to avoid danger whereby an educated seeing eye dog will not put themselves or the owner in danger when their safety is at risk. Humanity needs to understand this concept.
======================================================

A trained dog will obey a given command with out much thought, an educated dog, will process a given command and if it is safe, then they will carry it out. For example if you were at a street crossing with a trained dog and gave him the command to go forward he would without giving it a second thought, never mind that there was a car speeding up the road in front of him. Granted, the dog would most likely get out of the way of the car but would unlikely protect you from the car.

On the other hand, say you were at a street crossing with an educated dog, same setup; you give the command to proceed. If the educated dog spies a speeding car they will refuse to cross. This is called intelligent disobedience. It means that the dog will not go through with a command unless it is safe for both dog and partner. Additionally, an educated dog, will step between the partner and speeding car to push the partner out of the way if a car comes from out of nowhere and the team has started crossing the road.
