Most people stay there for 9 or so months but I only planned on 3-4 months
because I don't need everything and I don't have time to stay there for 9
months. Most people who attend those start from the beginning - they just
lost there sight or they were too sheltered and never did anything on there
own. I'm thinking about extending my training to June (I originally planned
on staying til April at the latest) if they'll let me go train at Pilot
Dogs.

How long does this course actually last? Maybe you could go again and do the
whole period after you get back from getting the dog.
