[nagdu] O&M services with a dog

[Cindy Ray]

I know that lots of these folks don't know much about dog use, but as they show us a route, can't we tell them what we need? That's how I've dealt with any here.

I think one or two of the O and M instructors at our private blindness agency know about dogs, too, but, yes, those are few and far between.  I know some of the schools offer O and M people the opportunity to work with a dog, etc., but I wonder how much they get to learn in the space of a couple of days.  In other words, do they learn enough to be able to help someone learn a route or to know what the dog is or isn't dong or the owner is or isn't doing.
