[nagdu] Question for Pilot dog handlers

[Brenda]

Hi Tami

I have an uncooperative pet dog that goes nuts when she sees another 
dog.  I probably will have to wait for her to pass on before I get a 
guide dog.  However, I got the *brilliant* idea that maybe I could talk 
to Pilot since they are in my state and only 3 hours away to see if they 
had any ideas for helping me adjust my pet to a guide.  It is a 
longshot, and I have not done it yet, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I would not even have considered doing this except for all the positive 
input I have heard about Pilot on this list.  Prior to the recent posts, 
I have heard only negative comments about Pilot.  Maybe it is just the 
people in my local area that say these things.

Anyway, I also like their choices in dog breeds.

My pet Sadie gets along with cats and may well adjust to a dog in the 
house as part of her family if done right, but I'm not dead set on doing 
it, just something I'm toying with as I really want a guide.

Brenda
