It's Tami that has the owner trained poodle in Oregon.

Are you interested in owner training?  There are several people on this list 
who have owner trained our guide dogs, including me. I'd be happy to talk to 
you about it.  Or you can search the list archives.  There's quite a bit of 
info there.
