    Well, the original Fidelco yahoo group was disbanded a few months ago,and a new one started by graduates.  There was some turmoil between SOME grads and the administration, but I didn't pay attention to it as I am not a Fidelco handler.  

    The Fidelco grads are wonderful people, and have nothing but praise about their guides.

From: "Marion Gwizdala" 

As the president of the National Association of Guide Dog Users, I have  had numerous stakeholders - consumers, staff members, donors, & volunteers -  report to me that the current administration of Fidelco Guide Dogs for the  Blind engages in behavior that can best be described as "bullying". 
Consumers have had their dogs and harnesses repossessed by Fidelco with no  due process or explanation, have violated their written and verbal  agreements, and have engaged in blatant disregard of basic human rights.
