[nagdu] New guide dog school

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

After reading all of the comments, I have a few of my own.

    The co-ownership is a big negative for me. I want full ownership of my 
dog. I am willing to wait some reasonable amount of time  (maybe about a 
year), but I want full ownership.

    I disagree with the statement that if a dog needs a head collar or pinch 
collar, it needs more training. There are dogs out there who make good 
guides, but just need a little more reminding to get back on the job 
sometimes. Also, there may be the case that, for whatever reason, a person 
cannot give a leash correction well enough with a chain collar. That being 
said, I also understand that it is much easier to misuse a pinch collar or 
head collar.

    Finally, I have to question why they are not using Labradors.
