I feel for you. I was not helping them learn their their way around by picking them up and carrying them out side, to their food etc.. After talking with other trainers I used sound and smell to help them find their way to things. They do learn the layout. One time we had to use a soft cone to protect a blind dog from banging into things. But that dog had dementia and could not memorize the way to his food or crate. We also used a soft sided crate for blind fosters. Thank You for bringing her into your heart and home.
