[nagdu] Canes and dogs

[Cindy Ray]

You would carry a fold or colapsible cane that can be stowed. I never do 
carry one.

You might carry one when you were doing country work to keep the side of the 
road close (they will teach you that there.)
You could use a cane to help you find poles with self-actuated buttons for 
lights or to help you find the best place to cross a street when patterning 
a dog alone.
You could carry a cane with you when you were going to have the dog confined 
and wanted to just use a cane, say, to go up front to a poteum (sp) or to a 
restroom or something similar. I pretty much never bother o carry a cane.

I'll be going to the Seeing Eye in a couple of months to get my first dog. 
I've heard people say you should always carry a cane when your working your 
dog.

1. What types of canes do you guys carry?

2. How often do you find yourself using a cane?

3. In what kinds of situations do you need to use the cane in?

Thanks
