I don't know what school is telling this, but if you know where you are going them dog should be able to handle this. I think schools do not want to put in time to train these dog corectley.

They suggest I use a cane. But here’s the thing. If the route is just going down sidewalks, crossing streets, and such, isn’t it to be expected that a dog would listen to such directions as left, right, straight, etc? If it is a problem to expect this, how does a dog enhance independence?

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.
