[nagdu] hi

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IT)]

KL. 
You have a couple options. 
1. Go to Leader Dogs and do their cane class. 
2. Meet with reps from each school you're interested in and show them
how well you can use a cane. See if they will sign off on you being a
compitent traveler. 
3. Owner-train a dog. 
I hope this helps.

Julie is right every state has rehabilitation services that include O&M
training. If you are considering a dog most schools require you have
mastered your O&M skills and can travel safely by cane before proceeding
to get a guide dog. You will always from time to time use your cane and
some of

the cane skills coincide with dog handling skills and techniques. What
state

are you from?
