[nagdu] private guide training

Tue May 29 14:19:29 UTC 2012

        I wouldn't want to leave my kid either for two weeks.
Have you looked at other schools? Pilot isn't the only game in town.

I asked for a poodle, and just last week I wrote them and told them
I'd accept a lab if they could absolutely not find me a poodle. they
told me a poodle might take a long time as I want a female and they
said finding one who will be good with kids, small dogs, and be on the
calmer side will be hard as they ahve more energy. IDK. I thought they
were calmer but I guess we'll see. Haven't heard back from them. I'm
still pursuing the private route, because I really do want a poodle if
it can work or a poodle cross, and the other hting is I really dont'
wanna leave my son for 2 weeks, I guess it'll probably end up whether
pilot comes trough or the private stuff first.
