[nagdu] O&M services with a dog

[Danielle Sykora]

I also have a O&M instructor who, while teaching me how to navigate
with a cane, also explains how using a dog would be different. When I
encounter a situation, she explains both how to approach it with a
cane and with a dog. Although I have not yet worked a dog, her
information seems accurate from what I have heard from others
experiences.
