[NAGDU] stairs and guide dogs question

[Star Gazer]

				My suggestion is you talk to whatever school
you're going to re your left hand. See what they have to say. 
Also ask if you can walk with a demo dog, one that isn't fully trained
(you'd have an instructor with you) and see if you like how it feels. 
Dan gave you some real good feedback. I prefer the cane for a bunch of
reasons, though neither technique is better then another. 
Also, you can get a dog and decide it isn't what you need like or want.
People do that all the time though it isn't talked about, just like people
change their mind all the time about all types of things.

Hello all. 
My name is Afik souffir from Israel. I wrote to here one time and didn't get
any response, except one. 
I'm 20 years old, and I have cp in my left hand. 
I want to know if guide dog can go in the right side? Is there an option to
train the dog to walk on the right side? 

I want to hear, also the exprince to be with a guide dog. 

Afik.

My dog naturally pointed out the railing so I do both railing and guiding.
