Good luck to you. 
Seems to me like if you can describe that your eyes and brain aren't in
synch and that a future dog needs to do the same task your off-the-shelf
guide dog needs to do, then you'll be fine.  Call around to the programs
you like, and see what they have to say.

Hi

 

I'm new here and have been reading the archives and this sounds like a
very knowledgeable and interesting group.  I currently am partnered with
James, my guide of 6 years, who I owner-trained. James is a flat coated
retriever and a lot of fun to live with.  I recently had to CC my puppy
in training due to health issues.  I'm considering going to a program
somewhere in the north east when it comes time for James to retire,
rather than owner train again.

 

I'm not legally blind, but I use a guide dog for a sensory processing
disorder.  I have a difficult time visually processing the world around
me at a normal rate due to that, so James is trained to work as any
guide would.  

 

I hope to learn a lot reading here on this list.

 

Katrin & "James"
