[NAGDU] stairs and guide dogs question

[Afik Souffir]

Hello Dan and all,
Here its 11:51 AM so, I'm sorry if I wake anyone with this message smile.
My traning organization manager know about my problem, with the left hand.
About guide dogs expirences -sorry for the spelling errors,- I want to know
what are the deffrences between to walk with a cane, and to walk with a
guide dog.
For myself, I think that guide dog will let me be more indipandent with the
mobility.

Thanks for any response,
Afik.

Hello, Afik, I think maybe I spoke to you once on skype, not sure.

Well I have heard of guide dogs being trained to walk on the right, at least
one of the schools here does this, and I  know the others will if
necessary,  any of that type of adaptations is called "special needs" 
here and several training facilities do it.I know of course, nothing about
what the Israeli programs do. I've also heard of people with CP using guide
dogs and the school   adapts  the harness  in some way so that they could
use it with their  weaker hand, So yes I've heard of it and I think you
would have to mention it to your training organization or at least mention
that you have a problem with your left hand. A Also, I'm not sure what you'd
like to know about having a guide dog, such a vast question but I for one am
glad to tell you anything you want to know, right to us publicly here, or to
me privately: 
dcwein at dcwein.cnc.net. or we could use some social media like whats app,
skype or messenger, up to you.


Of course remember one thing, we guide dog users are a little like drunks in
a bar--smile we have very strong opinions and each one of us seems to think
that he/she is right, and so on--smile. so take all the opinions and come to
your own conclusion and hopefully you'll get your own doggie at some point
and then you can be the one who tells us things.


I'm Dan from Florida, age forty-nine, can't believe it--lol, I've had four
guide dogs..I'm totally blind and I am deaf in the left ear, fortunately the
right ear does a good job.


Yours most sincerely,

Dan
