[Nicole Torcolini]

Also, has anyone talked to you about the differences in using a cane and
working with a guide dog?

Hi, Helga,
I will chime in, just as others have. I am working my first dog from the
Seeing Eye, a yellow Labrador named Dallas. I will agree with everything
everyone else has said here. It is vital that you be able to make safe
street crossings decisions before you get your dog. If you are really
nervous about crossing streets, your dog will definitely pick up on that and
might not work properly.
Hope that helps, and I would encourage you to do your research on your
schools. Do not just apply to one, in case that school will not take you.
Keep in mind what you want in a dog, whether or not you want to own your
dog, and whether or not you want veterinary support. These are only a few
things.
Thanks,
Aleeha

became a member of this list two days ago!, and I really like this list a
lot! Just to let you know, I don't have a guide dog yet, but I'm in the
process in getting one! The reason I say that is because I talked to South
Eastern guide dog school and they sent me an application, but I really
didn't fill it completely yet since I need to work with my mobility
instructor in street crossing! In fact, I'm not really so good in street
crossing since I'm a little scare to cross the streets due to the fact that
there are a lot of cars. However, I know that it is not impossible, and I'm
good in route traveling since I'm in college, but my mobility instructor
told me that I need to be able to cross the streets in order to get a guide
dog! Is that true? Just wondering. I will probably will have a lot more
questions along the way regarding guide dogs, and guide dog scchools. Hope
to hear from you soon, and hope to  talk to you soon. Thanks so much and God
bless!!
