[nagdu] bad to worse

[Albert J Rizzi]

Did your school train the dogs to pull you to the curb so that the dog could
alert you to the fact that they need to break?  Maybe you are missing a
signal  that your dog is trying to communicate? How long have you been home
with the dog?

Laura,

You have a lot of peers here both experienced and new to the world of 
guiding, and the consensus is that you need to make that call to the agency.

At this point, demand that you speak with the President or Phil Griffin, no 
one else.  This has to stop otherwise something tragic will happen and that 
is the last thing that any of us want for either you or your guide. 
Honestly, it's time to take immediate action.  If you would like assistance 
with this, please ask as we all want this to have a positive ending, and if 
that means going to another school, great, but when your safety is on the 
line, it is time to call the question.

My direct contat is 608.784.3434 or stevencjohnson at centurytel.net or work at

steve.johnson at co.la-crosse.wi.us


Steve

P.S. Any of us on this list-serve would be more than happy to hellp you, if 
you have befriended anyone that you have confided and built a level of trust

with, just ask and I assure you that they will be right there.
