[nagdu] question about dog schools

[Jenine Stanley]

The good news is that many schools will now work with people who use support
canes or have limited mobility due to not being able to walk far. 

I would encourage your friend to apply, or at least talk to as many of the
schools as she likes and go with her gut. That said, please feel free to
email me off list so that we can contact her.

yes they are a great school, I was there on class when they were training
people who are blind as well as other disabilities. Let me know when you are
here on Long Island Jewel, and Maxx and I will try to come and visit when
you can have visitors, and also, Nelson and I can take you out for the day
if you like.
