Star Gazer and Tami,

Generally, the blind in Sweden are taught routes to places there they need to go, to work/shops. Many blind people also have human guides who help them out. I think very few would feel confident to go outside the routes she or he knows. I think it has with the attitude against the blind here, the sighted are in control of our blind skills training and a majority of the blind here are seniors therefore the training is suited to them and not to us young who've other needs then them.

Our guide dogs are taught routes too, before working with your dog you're recommended to show the dog the route first. This is done with a walk in lead first where you show the dog the lines she or he shall walk. Then you can walk your dog in harness.

I hope you understand what I'm writing. Sometimes I've problem to describe what I want to say, if something is unclear, please tell me.

Kind regards,
