Hi Miranda,
I have traveled a great deal in the past with my guide dog.  We lived in
Japan for 9 years and I traveled from the USA and Japan at lease once or
twice a year.  What country are you expecting to be traveling to and from?
There are rules to follow and paper work to have done.  But I didn't find
it hard or a problem.  I have been a guide dog user since 1990,
Happing travels
Sandra
