Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any GDA graduates amongst us.
If so, I have questions.
You can either answer here or send me a private email, or add me to
msn at rolosgirl at gmail.com
1. Did you keep a blog of your experiences.
2. Does your dog have any issues with cats?
3. Can you describe your harness, AKA how it releases the belly strap,
any reflectors, how the handle connects, etc.?
4. What did you like and dislike about the school?
5. How long did you wait to get in?
6. Did you feel your dog was a good match?
7. Any recommendations for going there?
8. Can you give me an overview of the facilities, common areas, rooms, etc.?
9. Can you describe to me what happens from when you get there until
you get the dog?
10. Can you describe dog day to me and how they introduce the dog to
you, what happens after that up until your first work out?
11. Are there any hallmarks of the program, AKA visits to specific
places that always happen?
12. Was your dog well trained in all types of environments?
13. How does your dog do with food distractions?
14. How about cat/dog distractions?
15. What all commands are used.
16. How is your dog at home? Do you use a crate, tie down, both?
If I think of more questions I'll post them but these are the ones i
have right now.
I'm doing the application process now, hoping for an April or July
class. I've asked for a female yellow lab, we'll see!
Jessica

sylmar ca  they are a fantastic school !!!! I have a guide from the  and have e mailed jessica my answers off list  it was easier that way 
you own the dog when you leave 
they get donations only 
there is no fee 
classes are a max of 12  and  3 -4 trainers 
you  work one on  one alot 
they dont push the dogs out like GDB does  they graduate FAR LESS dogs a year which was a HUGE selling point for me
the dog i have and the ones i have seen are not into cats  they could care less
