[nagdu] Guide dog Schools

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi Brianna.

I went for my first dog when I was still in high school, so I was
thinking about the same things you seem to be now.  I went to
GEB(Guiding Eyes for the blind).  I had a great experience.  I worked
well with the trainers, even though I was young and worried about
everything.  Even if you would like a shorter program, I just would
like to remind you that all schools recommend that you don't travel
with your dog or leave your dog alone to take a trip for the first few
months.  Also, a lot of your first Summer with that dog will be full
of that dog.  You and your dog will be forming a bond, which is quite
magical, but it does take time and energy.

If you have any questions about Guide dogs, dog schools, or Guiding
Eyes, feel free to email me off list.

Now I have to get my own little dog out from under a bed!  :)
