[nagdu] Guide Dog Schools

[Laurie Mehta]

Hi Linda, 
I think that something was somehow misunderstood. /smile/ 

California schools can, and do, in-home trainings out of state.  The issue with the state regs is whether an unlicensed trainer can come into California to do an in-home training and remain compliant with state regs. 

GDB does in-home trainings all over the US and Canada.  I am not clear on what the criteria is for receiving in-home training from them, though.  

hth-- Laurie
