Julie,
Yay! Glad to hear your foot is almost healed. I know what it's like to not 
be able to work your dog for a while. I just had eye surgery so haven't been 
able to work Pascal for a little over a week. We are getting cabin fever! 
LOL. Actually, he is getting out for some car rides, but he stays in the car 
with my Step-Dad. So, I will be very glad when my restrictions are lifted 
and Pascal and I can go on some nice long walks. Glad you are doing well.
Deanna and Pascal

PS: Welcome to the list Hannah! Best of luck on your guide dog journey!

Welcome Hannah!

I'm Julie, one of the moderators. I'm currently recovering from breaking my 
foot, but in a few weeks I'll be working with Monty my lab and Boxer mix 
guide again. We are both looking forward to it quite a lot!

I have no advice for guide dog school selection. I owner train my guides. I 
usually tell people to figure out what it is you want from a guide dog 
school. Then prioritize the list. When you start looking at schools it will 
be much easier to find one that most closely matches your needs. Others have 
mentioned location, but you might also consider what breeds they offer, 
facilities, other amenities, size of classes, length of training, 
availability of follow up services and any manner of other thing that is 
important to you.

What is important to me may not be important to you. If you could share some 
specific things you are looking for in a guide dog program, I think the 
people here would more easily be able to help you.

Again welcome!
Julie
