[nagdu] The Process of Getting a Guide

[Robert Hooper]

Hello Greg:

Most of these questions could be directed at Southeastern, as I'm sure it varies from school to school. There are many factors, including time of the year, availability of trainers to your area, etc. Just to give you a time frame, I applied to The Seeing Eye in mid-May, and was in class by mid-July of last year. Of course, this is on the short end of things and I am still surprised at how quickly things managed to go. Does Southeastern say anything about this on their website? The best advice I can give is if you are unsure of something specific to the school (such as various time frames such as the one about which you are inquiring), contact the school and ask.
As far as anything else you could be doing, I would think of some questions you want to ask the trainer who visits you. Questions about training, dogs, the program, how long it might take to get you in class, any breed preferences you may have, and so on. Other than that, you should be alright. I hope this helps a bit. 
Sincerely,
Robert Hooper

Hello Everyone. I am Greg in North Carolina. I have applied to Southeastern and all of my documentation was received on May 2. I understand the next step is for the trainer to do a home visit and match a dog after that. How long does it usually take for a trainer to do a home visit after all the paperwork is in and what is an average time till I might be in a class? Do I need to be doing anything else?

Greg
