[nagdu] a couple questions

[Marion Gwizdala]

Terra,
    One thing I strongly suggest is that consumers review the ownership 
policies of the training programs they are considering. Leader does not give 
ownership upon graduation. During the past year I have had at least four 
consumers who have contacted me telling me that Leader has either 
repossessed their dog or have threatened to do so. Both the Guide Dog 
Foundation for the Blind and The Seeing Eye, as well as some other programs, 
transfer ownership upon completion of training.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala, President
National Association of Guide Dog Users
