[NAGDU] Pace

[Cindy Ray]

I think if we are competent dog users, we know when the time is to move quickly and the time to move more slowly. Tracy was curious if her dog was as slow as she thought; Dar probably wants to know if hers is as fast. LOL.

In the end, I think it’s just a curiosity thing.

I have been criticized for walking “too fast”, as well, by both guide dog instructors and the sighted public.  I am safe with my dogs, though, and that’s what really matters in the long and short runs..
