[nagdu] Leash guiding WAS: re3 ,Age of Qualifying Guide Dogs

[Chantel Cuddemi]

Hi,

Leash guiding simply means that your dog is guiding you on leash, as opposed
to guiding you in harness.

Some schools teach leash guiding and others don't teach it.

At Pilot, we were discouraged from using leash guiding.

Hope that helps,

Chantel and Motley.

I have never heard of the term "leash guiding".  Can someone tell me what
this is, or what it entails?

I personally like the idea of leash guiding. In fact, when I was at LDB,
Sophie girl did this often to keep me from hitting walls. LDB disapproved
this method but I'm glad to see that doesn't apply to all the schools.

I've heard a similar comment from another GDF handler.  She said that in
general, GDF's dogs are a bit better when it comes to manners and behavior.
She seems to believe that it has to do with GDF teaching their dogs more
commands than other schools, and also leash guiding.  Has anyone else heard
or seen this?
