[nagdu] TSE and Guiding Eyes comparison

[Margo and Arrow]

I believe at GEB they do obedience as a group but at The Seeing Eye after 
about a week of supervised individual obedience or in pairs, we are expected 
to do obedience at The Seeing eye on our own and I'm sure they can tell if 
we've been doing that or not.
