[NFBF-L] training centers

[Jorge Alejandro Paez]

oh really?
I thought they trained you with the guide dog?
You’re probably right and I probably just confused it with the state run center stuff.
I’ll def keep that point in mind thanks.

You can bring a guide dog to training, but you will not use it in travel class. I would focus  on getting great cane skills. Then get the dog if you still want one.
