[nagdu] Fw: [buddy-l] A very bad legislative effort

[Albert J Rizzi]

Yes you are correct, at least my understanding is that each school certifies
their own trainers. Making this certification part of a national agenda
would best serve everyone. It would stimulate the universities bottom line,
allow for the guide schools to leverage their dollars to get dogs trained
which would hopefully decrease the wait to get a guide, and it would open
options of study for mobility to include ponies, and companion and or
service animals for those with properly diagnosed conditions.

No, I'm saying the association of guide dog schools would do that. I was 
also saying that the schools certify their own in some form or another to do

their particular training.

If there is certifications for trainers, I don't think the schools
should get to certify their own trainers.  Law firms don't certify
their own lawyers; Hospitals don't certify their own doctors.  I also
don't know how fair it would be to owner trainers if the programs were
the ones certifying them.  I can say that as an OT myself, I'm not
comfortable with this at all.

Oh and PWD is person with a disability, or Portuguese Water dog, you
take your pick.
