They might know some destinations. It's fairly common for dogs to be able to lead the way home for instance.

But usually it's up to the handler to do the main navigation, and the dog deals with the small stuff.

If Walking in a city, the handler tracks number of intersections and turns. The dog picks a clear path between obstacles like lamp posts, through doors etc etc.
