[NAGDU] Using Rolling Suitcase with Guide Dog

[Joy Relton]

Hi all,

Chiming in on rolling suit cases. I absolutely love using them with my dog. I find it much easier to maneuver the suit case when navigating the airport including escalators. I also love using two and four wheel carts with my dogs. I makes carrying groceries so much easier. Curb cuts improved the ability to cross streets but I'm now telling my age. I also used strollers behind me. IF you get the kind with the handle that flips forward your child can watch you as you walk.  I caution you to take care on controlling the speed of the cart or it can creep up on you. You should try to practice with you dog a little before you go so that they are not phreaked by this thing following them.

ENJOY!!!

Thank you all for the prompt feedback.

I thought it would be much more complicated than it is. I was worried about needing to use touch commands or reward my dog while carrying around a suitcase. It sounds like that is not a problem.

Thank you very much.
