[nagdu] unfamiliar areas

[Danielle Burton]

Rox, how can you tell if your dog is following someone else if it's hard to hear? Also, how would you go about teaching this to your dog? It varies from situation to situation and from day to day whether my hearing is very usable or not.

>> Hello, Pam.  If I know I am going to a particular place that is unfamiliar, I will call them ahead and ask for some good landmarks.  If I am with a sighted person that I know, I will heel Becky and go sighted guide.  If I do not know the person, I will ask them "Do you mind if we follow you for a bit?"  Then,  give the follow command.  Also, this may be cheating a little bit, but I also use my Trekker Breeze with Becky so I will have an idea where I am at.  Hope this helps you with some good ideas.
