[nabs-l] NFB training centers and guide dogs

[Amy Sabo]

hello kurt,

i see that you want to attend ccb which is awesome! yes, you can bring your guide dog to the ccb but, you will have to use a cane for some of your activities oncluding travel class. i hope this is helpful to you and, hopefully others here will chime in with their comments and suggestions to this topic.

take care and good luck in coming to ccb.


hugs,
amy

Dear list,
  I'm thinking of attending the CCB sometime soon.  I'm also going to
try out using a guide dog and, if I find it beneficial, will probably
go through the process of getting one.  So my question is this.  Is it
ok to bring a guide dog to an NFB training center?  I mean, I know
that during my official day-time lessons I'd just need to use a
cane-and I'm fine with that.  I think the worst thing I could do, if I
get a guide dog, is let my cane skills slip.  But would there be any
problems, aside from logistics I'd have to work out, with bringing a
guide dog to a training center?  Anyone done it?
  Warmest regards,
Kirt
