Charles,
Sounds to me like you need a longer harness.
My lad isn't forced to sit at the kerb by me, but he will sit down hard if
there's an obstacle he can't get around, or a vehicle suddenly shoots in front
of us. This is a very clear indication, and is very useful.
Vince.

At GDB, they are trained to stop, but they are still standing. I would
think that having them sit would possibly be a problem. You are walking,
holding the harness handle, and, wouldn't the dog pull the handle out of
your hand by sitting down?

hi everyone
just wondering how other guide dogs r trained when it comes to kerbs. was
told by a friend that the dogs here in ireland used to b trained to sit when
they came to a kerb. this was before i got callie so don't know when they
changed it or why. but now the dogs r trained to stop at kerbs. so just
curious how it works in other countries. thanks :)
