[nagdu] should guides be given a second owner if it doesn't work out with the first owner?

[Julie J]

Welcome Britteny!

My understanding has always been that if a dog is reissued that it undergoes 
an extensive evaluation and any necessary training.   I think it's also hard 
to know exactly where a dog picked up bad habits.  It could have been in the 
puppy home, with the first handler, in the kennels or just a creative dog. 
I don't see any problem with reissueing a dog as long as it meets the 
regular requirements met by any dog placed from that program.

Hello all,
My dog had another handler before me.  I don’t think that guides should be 
given another handlerbecause the dog picksup a lot of bad habits and they 
are  really hard to get rid of.  I love my  dog very muchand harvard has 
changed my life, but it took me a year to stop a lot of her bad habbits, and 
we still have some work to do.  What do you guys think? am I over reacting?
