[nfb-talk] conventions and behavior

[Debra Baxley]

I'm not interested in guide dog training.  I'm telling you why people do not
have "Sighted guides," during convention.

well you need to learn to do cane travel before you can get trained for a
guide dog, none of the guide dog schools or private trainers will train you
for a guide dog unless you have gone through O and M training.

  At NFB training centers, the use of "Sighted guide," and guide dogs is not
  tolerated in cane travel class.
