[NAGDU] guide dogs and unfamiliar routes

[Buddy Brannan]

No Aleeha, these are not at all unrealistic expectations. Anyone giving you push back on this doesn't know what s/he is talking about. Of course you could use your cane. At this point, with this dog, I think that's probably wise. But you know that your expectations are reasonable.

Do you guys find that it is reasonable to go to a brand new city with your dog, get directions to go somewhere, and get there, while still using the dog, even if the area is unknown? Am I wrong in thinking that the dog should listen to what you need, and not have a massive panic? I’ve gotten some push back from people on this and wanted to see your thoughts.
