[nagdu] intro and some questions

[Marion Gwizdala]

Chantel,
    Welcome to our list! I hope yu learn a lot and share as much! One of the 
things I suggest is to ask the training programs for the contracts they will 
enter into with the
training program. I believe training programs should transfer ownership to 
the consumer after the completion of training. Some programs do but most do 
not. Furthermore, the transfer of ownership should be real and not couched 
in such terms as Fidelco's contract which states that Fidelco has the sole 
and absolute discretion to repossess the dog at any time and for any reason. 
This is not real ownership. If a training program refuses to let you see 
their legal agreements in advance, you should ask yourself the question, 
"Why not?" HTH!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala, President
