[Blindtlk] Guide Dog Training in College

[Debbie Wunder]

Hi, it is my experience that a school will try to work a schedule so it best 
fits your needs. Of course you know you can always let them know that you 
must absolutely cannot take a class during the school year. Guide Dogs for 
the Blind has a 2 week program even for first time students, you may give 
this some consideration.
Good Luck!
