[nagdu] O&M, Ownership, & Leader

[Angie Matney]

Hi Linda,

I trained with Glaze in January, 2001. The policy changed sometime before August, 2002. I know because I remember discussing it with someone who is now deceased. The school sent us a special tape about it, if memory serves. I think maybe your friends forgot to listen to the tape. Grin. I've done that. I bet a lot of us have. But this one was something I page attention to, because GDB's ownership policy was the one thing about the school that disappointed me. At that time, I felt the same way Allison said she felt about Occupaws. I was disappointed, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me, because I knew my dog would emotionally belong to me. Now, I would find it extremely difficult to attend a program that didn't allow me to own my dog. 

Anyway, for various reasons, I remember the stuff associated with the policy change very clearly. This info might also be on their web site. I might look later.

Angie

Hi Angie,
When did you get Glaze?  My friends have had dogs from GDB for as long as 
I've known them - 20 years.  It could be entirely possible that they don't 
read their GDB newsletters (grin!).

Thanks.

Linda and Landon
