[nagdu] Guide dog school question

[solsticesinger at gmail.com]

Both my girls have come from GDF, where leash guiding is taught. So, 
whenever my dog is on leash, she thinks she's working.

In recent years, GDF seems to have put more of a focus on off-leash 
obedience. When I got my first dog in 1997, it didn't seem to be that big a 
deal, but, when I returned in 2005, more emphasis was placed on it. I'm not 
sure if this varries from trainer to trainer, or if it's a school policy.
