If its obstacles Wren just comes to a stop, unless she is to do an off kerb, 
then she will sit.

    the dogs here just stop at kerbs, stairs and obsticless. the reason i heard 
they changed is it being bad for the dogs backs or something not sure if it is 
though.

        I have always had sitting at kerb dogs, and no, the harness never falls 
out of your hand when the dog sits!  Doesn't your dog ever sit to indicate 
anything then?  Ours also sit to indicate a flight of stairs down and for 
various other reasons, such as a hole/obstruction across the pavement.

        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 :)
