[nagdu] walking in sidewalkless areas

[Julie J.]

Yes, frequently.  Monty does just fine if he is on the curb side.  If I am 
on the curb  side he tends to be further out in the street than I'd ideally 
like, but I think there's probably stuff blown into the gutter that he 
doesn't want me to walk through.   Even far out is still only about two feet 
from the curb, so not in the middle of traffic or anything.

He doesn't walk slower or show any signs of not liking walking in the 
street.  the only place we go where he slows down a lot is my office.  It's 
not my favorite place on the whole planet either, but we still go.  Every 
day is not Christmas and you have to do what you need to do.  He'll get over 
it.

Subject: [nagdu] walking in sidewalkless areas

Hello,

I was wondering if ayever has worked their dogs in sidewalkless
areas.  I have to because that's where I live, but my guide hates
working sidewalkless.  He walks very slow and bored-like.  I'm
just wondering if anyone has ever walked sidewalkless teas with
their guide dogs and how it was.

Sarah and Wizard
