It sounds as if you are off to a good start. I have one comment for your consideration. You have a new guide dog. Her job is to guide you. She is finding her way. As your guide she is in charge of getting you there safely with your commands. She is not leading you. The leader is the brains of the pair. My money is on you as having the more extensive brain. You are in charge. You are the boss. Leading suggests that the leader is in charge. You have a new guide dog and friend. Don’t give her the lead position.<div><br></div><div>Barbara<br><div>
