hello, I believe that you are able to bring the guide dog, but could not use
the dog during class times.
I think it is great if you wish to try a guide dog, I went in November to
the GDB, but I would reccommend that you do so after your training program
is complete. The reason I suggest this is because you will need to spend a
great deal of time with your new guide becoming a team.
I am both a cane user and guide dog user, both offer great mobility
differences.
Good Luck with what ever you decide.
