[NAGDU] Traveling in Pairs

[Ashley Coleman]

Hello 
Some of the cues I have developed in the instance when I'm traveling with a
blind friend or small group, no matter if they are using a dog or cane is to
keep a conversation going and check in with each other periodically. If
there is just me and a friend, I may put one hand gently on the back of
their backpack or coat. 

I know there are probably some things I haven't tried, but I hope this is
useful.

Hello,

For a pair of guide dog users, what methods can you recommend for ensuring a
smooth travel experience? What cues do you use with one another to keep
track of each other while moving about busy streets?
When traveling in large crowds, do you ever physically link up somehow to
not lose track, and if you do, how do you maneuver the dogs? I know these
are basic questions, to which there are probably simple answers, but people
come up with all manner of clever ideas. I'm curious to see what you may
have thought up. Thanks in advance!

Joe
