[nagdu] Skipping driveways

[Kaye Kipp]

Where are you getting your dog from?  I don't know about all of the schools,
but the trend seems to be to teach the dogs to target places so I don't
think you'll have any problem.

I do not have my dog yet. I am getting it any time now. Just waiting for a
match.

Well, maybe you could use your cane and heel your dog and teach your dog
where to turn in.  Do you use treats?

Hi All,

This may be an odd question but I hope not. 
With a Guide Dog how do you know where exactly you are? For example right
now I know that there are 2 driveways then a stretch of sidewalk until I
turn to go up the hill to get to my apartment, however since dogs don't stop
at every driveway or alley how do you stay oriented to where you are when
using. Dog if you originally learned a route by using landmarks so to speak
such as driveways or alleys? 

Thanks
Jennifer
