Thank you for sharing this. 
I think my concern was with a school that sent down a command "Thou
shalt get sighted assistance" without offering actual live bodies to
provide that assistance. We all know how difficult it can be to find a
sighted person when you need/want one. 
Sounds like you've got a workable system.

Rebecca,

If my dog gets off leash time at the dog park, I usually know several
people there who know her and who love to give a running commentary of
what my dogs, and the other dogs are doing.

My dog also has off leash time with friend's dogs and I trust them to
watch and to either redirect my dog or ask me to do so if there is a
situation where her behavior isn't what it should be.

My dogs also have off leash time in our yard every day and I supervise
them then.

As for bathing, we have a giant claw-foot tub and the dogs get bathed
about 3 or so times a year-- more for my old dog who is prone to nasty
hypo-thyroid dog coat when her levels get out of wack.  My Doberman,
Laveau really only needs bathing once or twice a year.  I love her coat!
My husband does the dog scrubbing and I do the grooming and post-bath
bone handing out.
