National Braille Press has a book called SAFE WITHOUT SIGHT.  Offhand, I
can't remember the author's name, but I read it a number of years ago, and
thought it had a lot of excellent ideas.
You could probably get it thru NLS.

Subject: Re: [nagdu] Gender differences WAS harness signs

Tami, it is outrageous that you were attacked by staff at the Living Skills
Center!  If I'd been attacked, I expect I would feel more anxious about the
various jerks I encounter.  Perhaps you could take a self-defense course?  I
hear it can be a real confidence-builder for those uncomfortable situations.
I wonder if that would be one of those leave-the-dog-at-home situations? 
Ben doesn't mind when my husband and I are dancing, but he might care if he
thought someone were attacking me.

A sort of funny thing happened in class once.  We were working an evening
route, and I was walking along by myself with my dog when I heard someone
sneaking around behind me in the nearby parking lot. My city instincts
kicked in and I got nervous.  I think I may have challenged whoever it was
in my most ferocious New Yorkese, like, Hey who's there!  Or maybe I just
hustled away from there. Turns out it was the instructor following us.  I
think I surprised him.  But I don't like being followed around in the night!

But before, I was talking about how people treat my husband like an idiot,
now that he's blinder than he used to be.  Not in a dangerous bullying way,
just the "Here deary" way, same as they do me.  I wish I could help him deal
with it.  It is very annoying.  Or convince people that blind people are not
actually idiots.  But some people just can't be convinced, just like some
can't be convinced that No petting the dog applies to them.
