[NAGDU] guide dogs and unfamiliar routes

[Cindy Ray]

You would likely do this with a cane. It can be a little hard if you don't get good directions. When you receive push back on this, what do folks suggest you do?

Hey all, 
I’m writing to seek your opinion on something that I’ve been pondering for a while. Do you guys find that it is reasonable to go to a brand new city with your dog, get directions to go somewhere, and get there, while still using the dog, even if the area is unknown? Am I wrong in thinking that the dog should listen to what you need, and not have a massive panic? I’ve gotten some push back from people on this and wanted to see your thoughts.
Thanks
Aleeha
