As far as I'm concerned, the NFB center attitude on the use of guide dogs
during training is ridiculous.

Hi Hope,

I am not going to say that the centers are very guide dog friendly, but they
will let you take them.  I think you have to alternate classes some with
your dog and some with your cane.  Yes you do need to take white cane
classes, because it never hurts to have your cane skills up to par just in
case there is a problem and you can't work your dog.

Hi all.  I have a friend who is attending an Nfb center.  He doesn't have a
guide dog though.  I'm curious, how tollerant are the  centers about
allowing students to bring their guide dogs to the centers and to classes?
Also, if you're already well-traveled, (using a guide dog), is it required
that you take white cane instruction?
I'm just curious.

Thanks!
Hope and Beignet
