[nagdu] O&M services with a dog

[Chantel Cuddemi]

Hi all,

When I first came home from Pilot with Motley, the trainer and my mobility
instructor worked on my area with Motley and I.

My mobility instructor seemed to be familiar with guide dogs because she and
the trainer go way back. 

Anyhow, she was able to help Motley and I along with routes here in my
neighborhood, and it's worked out great!

All my best, 

Chantel and Motley

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.

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.
