[nagdu] ownership

[Mariea Harris]

I've been to 2 schools that retained ownership until a point of so many 
ears and then you could adopt the dog as yours and I've been to a school 
where I retained ownership of my dog when I left. I think there are 
disadvantages to both, but I do like having ownership of my dogs. For 
people who abuse their dogs though, I think the schools that retain 
ownership is best. It's a little easier to get the dog taken away from 
the handler. I also know though that dogs have been taken away for 
reasons that they shouldn't have. I've never had this experience, but 
know some who have. Now, I don't know both sides of those stories 
either. I think whether or not a person wants ownership of their dog or 
not is totally up to them. People who apply to schools where the school 
retains ownership know they don't have ownership of the dog. It's not 
like it's sprung on them or anything. It's a personal choice.
