You are correct.

For my own education, am I correct that Leader Dog will give cane travel
instruction to assist students enrolled in their training in improving
their orientation and mobility? I thought I read that some where.

No school is going to admit it, but yes there are schools in which do
not require such orientation like GDB and Seeing Eye does. But of course
it all depends on the person too. Marsha

This also raises an interesting question. Supposedly, if the person
needs more mobility training, the dog guide school would not have
admitted them. 
In other words, are some dog guide schools not strict enough on their
mobility requirements?

The way I took it was that they weren't leaving her out but wanted her
to get the fundamentals of cane travel before using the dog as a
mobility aid. 
Just like in the center they want you to use the cane before if you have
a dog use that.  At GDB they test us to make sure we have good cane
travel before we're accepted into the program so I don't see why she was
anti trying.  I don't want to give up traveling with Dante all the time
but I would if I was being taught on cane travel.  Even in a new area I
go out with a cane and learn the area before I take my dog.  I just
think they could have made a plan.  To work with the cane even if she
had the dog with her, or use the cane one week the dog the next.  I just
think if your learning cane travel then use the cane.  I agree that she
shouldn't have just left the dog home for the 6 months, or not use the
dog at all. I don't know maybe I misinterpreded the article but that's
what I got from it. I also think people are too eager to sue sometimes
instead of working things out.
