Sandy, I can't answer about teaching blended curbs differently, but as a blind handler, our job is certainly more difficult with blended curbs when the dog decides to over run one. Blended curbs are one of my most favorite reasons for loving my Trekker. If there's no traffic and no curb, Trekker at least clues me in when we're coming up on a street and I can be more alert to my dog's actions.

I think I know but in context wasn't absolutely certain.. How do your dogs handle them and do you teach them differently than any other curb?
