I thought we would take turns. First, though, we need to wrest the keys
away from the grumpy old guy who won't let us get hold of them to drive his
truck! /lol/ So I guess we'll just have to wait for him to drive us.
Unless our latest plan succeeds at last... Teehee.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brittney,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm glad you asked this question. That's one of those
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> program
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> policies
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ran across while researching for owner-training, and my
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> first
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> response
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the notion was very negative.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Since then, I've heard of enough positive experience with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dogs
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> who
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> were
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> reissued after being returned to have a more favorable
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> view
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> practice.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Most of what I've heard is from people who have done well
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> re-issued
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dogs or from people who know people... /smile/ Still, I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> get
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> more
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> now
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and understand the reasoning others have explained, and it
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> does
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> seem
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> work
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> for the most part. There will certainly be times when it
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> doesn't,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> but
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is true of matches in general.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As for whether you're over-reacting... As a still pretty
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> new
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> only
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> somewhat experienced guide dog handler, also an
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> owner-trainer
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> then
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> self-taught handler, I've been observing the attitudes and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ways
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> thinking
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of handlers at or just above my level of experience as
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> closely
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> as I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> have
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> those of the long-timers. I can watch my peers in that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> regard
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> give
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> myself a reality check as to how I'm coming along not just
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> skill
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> but
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> maturity as a handler while I'm learning from those with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> much
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> more
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> experience.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So here's my observation, based not just on myself but on
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> generalized
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> group of other first time handlers going through or just
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> coming
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> past
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> team building phase: We over-react. To everything.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> /lol/
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> good,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bad, the mundane... It is all new and exciting and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> frightening
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wonderful and awful, all beyond belief. We popped out to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dinner
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> just
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> evening, and at the restaurant there was just this one
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> little
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> thing
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that no
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> one would have noticed beyond our table... Outwardly, I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> remained
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> calm
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> responded correctly and it was all okay. Inwardly, what
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> did
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> do?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> /lol/
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OMG! How can this be? What can it mean? Oh, no, this is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> so
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> terrible!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Then I noticed nothing had actually happened that was
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> worth
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fuss and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> got over it. /smile/ More and more, it's all old hat,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> but
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> apparently
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I can
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> still freak out just fine over absolutely nothing.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As for working through bad habits in your re-issue dog...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> think
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> others
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> are right in their observations that during the first year
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> or
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> so,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> there
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> will
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> always be something that will make you absolutely crazy
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> about
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dog.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your first dog, these will be far more magnified in your
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> own
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mind
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> those you work with later on as a truly experience
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dhandler.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bad
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> habits
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> need to be dealt with and modified, certainly, but it's
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> not
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> really
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> habit for
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you yet to deal with those ups and downs. So you really
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> have
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> think
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> way through it and notice every little thing and try to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> figure
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> out
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> how
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> counteract and... Well, on and on. It just takes awhile
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> for
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> become havit and natural. I've only been there for a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> short
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> while
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> --
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> minor blips where I freak out over nothing -- and that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sure
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> nice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Good luck with your dog; sounds like you're coming through
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> tream
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> building phase and are starting on the next one -- which
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> where
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> falls together and you're just you working your guide.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> /smile/
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> loving
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that, and trying to hold onto that feeling as I move into
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> taking
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> for granted phase.
