[nagdu] Update on Kori and I

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Lora,

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that!  Earlier on, it was sounding like you had a
good match, but it's always nice to hear that things are working out with
more time working together.  That's what that's all about!  /grin/

Maturity and experience can help with some of the niggling issues like house
manners and even distractability, so you can look forward to seeing some of
that settle down, at least, even if it never goes away completely.  /smile/

Take care!

Tami Smith-Kinney

Subject: [nagdu] Update on Kori and I

Hello list
Just to mix things up I decided to give you an update about my seeing
eye dog Kori. He is an amazing worker. Since a seeing eye trainer came
out I have came up with a way to manage Kori's dog distraction issues.
He still will not come off leash very well even with food. He is way
too distracted by the outside world. I think that he is going to be
the type of dog who needs supervision all the time and i'm ok with
that. He can play but only on a flexi lead. Honestly with my past two
dogs that didn't work out I am hapy to have a dog that works well. I
wish my dog was better at house manners but I'd rather have a great
guide over a bad one. Safety is the most imkportant.

BTW I like the fact that the seeing eye gives people a chance to
interact with dogs before they get to meet their future guide.
