[nagdu] Fw: Seeing Eye Class Length Shortened

Hi Jewel, et al,
I personally like a 28-day class better just in case a dog switch needs to 
be made in the middle of class.  The other thing is that the dogs have 
already transitioned between two environments by the time we get them, and I 
think a little more leeway in adjustment is a lot better, especially if 
behavior or medical problems don't always surface right away.  My training 
with Liam was three weeks, but I was willing to take the 28 days that I had 
with Whitney and Pam if necessary, and I'm sure GDA would have gladly 
exercised that viable option.  JMO.
Best,
Nat and Liam Joshua

What effect, if any, will this have on the training sessions? It seems
it gives people less time to get acclimated to the area, but do people
need that extra time?

Curious,
Jewel
