Step 7: First walk

  • Go stand 3m in front of Toadi

  • Wait for her eyes to ‘find’ you

    • Toadi her eyes will go left and right

    • When she sees you her eyes will become full circles

    • Walk slowly so Toadi can follow

    • When taking sharp turns, give Toadi the time to turn

  • Guide Toadi to the additional zones or through the narrow passage

    • Use a passage that has no borders with more than 3cm difference in height

    • Use a passage that Toadi will always be able to take

      • She will always consider this safe and not detect obstacles here
