[nabs-l] NFB training centers and guide dogs

[Debbie Wunder]

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.
