[nagdu] New guide dog school

[Julie J.]

Each program can't be everything for everyone.    If they all had labs, 
trained in the same way, what would be the point of having more than one 
program?  It is setting the program apart as unique in some way that 
attracts people.

I'd really like a boxer, fed a premium food from puppyhood, trained 
using positive methods, home based training, immediate ownership, no 
yearly paperwork and no required
follow up.   Unfortunately that doesn't exist.   If I choose to get a 
guide from a program I get to pick based on what they are offering, not 
what I want them to offer.

JMHO
