[nagdu] Guides at NFB training centers

[Michael Hingson]

Hi,

I have not been to a center as a student, but I serve on one of the center
boards and have talked to many people who have participated in the programs.
My understanding is that centers will assist by permitting you to leave your
dog in an office, possibly with staff, so the dog will not be alone.
Remember that the reason, in part, for going to the centers is to learn
better travel techniques which means developing better cane skills as that
is what the centers teach. You WILL find this invaluable after your time at
the center. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Hi, I know that these centers do a great job in regards to teaching. Please
make sure that your dog get as much exercise as normal. Also, live a radio
or TV on so that your dog has something calming to listen to. Check with
your trainers to find out when they would like you to use a cane. Honestly,
I would rather work with my dog than a cane. I would have a difficult time
leaving Landon behind in my room all day. JMO.

know what their policy on dogs is, but I would like to hear from those who
have attended centers with your dogs. How was it? What can I do to reduce
the stress on my dog from being left all day?
