[nagdu] New guide dog school

[Reinhard Stebner]

Agreed on the below points, I want to see a break down on all of the
features of this school.  Another concern I have is that since she is in MS,
they do not have any big cities to do big city travel.  Since I live in a
big city, this is a major concern for me.  I will be needing a city dog who
can deal with lots of noise and vibrations.  I have heard that this type of
condition can cause issues with dogs.  My second dog dealt with city travel,
but was not a fan of it.

I don't think she can compare her services yet because she isn't
established. She plans to have co-ownership of the dogs rather than you
owning the dog or them owning the dog. Each year a form will be required to
be filled out to determine the dog's physical health. The method of
training--mostly home but with new students home and away, will set her
apart from the other schools.
She is using a lot of Dobermans. I don't know how to spell that. Anyway, I
was amazed when she talked about the heart flaw in that dog. That seems like
it would make the dog a hard one to use, though I know some are. Early on I
should think additional follow up would be difficult because of budget and
small staff. However, if they are co-owner, I should think there is a lot at
stake for them.
