[nagdu] switching schools

Sun Sep 11 14:36:44 UTC 2011

I spoke to a member of this list off list about it. We looked over Leader's
application. We also looked at Pilot's application. 
Leader treats you like a new handler each time you go for a new dog after
your first dog. 
I am not sure if that's true. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi, Chantal.

I'm curious as to what made you decide on Pilot rather than Leader. I've
never attended either school, so can't give much in the way of opinions. I'm
just curious how you came to this decision. What was it about Leader that
made you decide it wasn't what you hoped it would be?
