[nagdu] blazing trails with tails.

[melissa R green]

I have found it quite helpful to have a gps device and to have some O&M with 
a instructor.
I consider myself fortunate because my instructor worked for gdb before 
becoming an O&M instructor.
She has given me some really good ideas to work with my dog and it has been 
very helpful.
Like others, I hate to get lost.
I would suggest do what works for you and remember that there are resources 
out there.

Blessings,
Melissa Green and PJ

Hey guys, as yall know I'm going to be moving to a new town for college
quite soon. While I was in training (I can't remember if it was an
instructor or not) someone off-handedly said something like, always have a
sighted person help you on a new route or something.I've always been a
really independent person trying new routes and what not. I can understand
getting some orientation help in a new place but for everything? How do yall
feel about going new places without an advanced orientation session or such?
Do yall usually stick to a preplanned set of routes or do yall sometimes go
new places just for the heck of it? I'm asking this from a dog users
perspective, how does your dog react on a new route or a place, and
especially if any of yall have moved to a new city or home, how did yall get
used to the new surroundings?

Thanks,

Dan
