[nagdu] Quick Question

[Brittney N. Mejico]

schedule wise you should relieve your dog at least five times a day ten 
minutes each time so that’s about 50 minutes a day just relieving. Feeding 
is about five minutes, and grooming takes about 10 minutes, and playing 
takes about however long you want LOL  I useally relieve my guide between 
classes you may want to schedual your classes so that you will have time to 
do stuff for your guide dog.

This will be my first guyed dog. I have a pet dog but I know a guyed dog is
entirely different.

I will be spending a month with an ONM instructor at the campus this summer
so I will have a basic familiarity with it. Also, I am pretty good at
figuring out places by attempting to get myself unlost. How much time each
day does the guyed take up in maintenance and the like, just trying to
figure it schedule wise.
