[nagdu] Working Our Dogs

[Sarah]

I can still work Wizard every day just because I don't live on my 
own.  The last times he tried getting sent back by other handlers 
it didn't work.  His last handler couldn't have a dog because she 
was losing her vision and her hearing and disasn't taking it very 
well.  And the trainers said not to give up on him before like 6 
months.  They think we're a very successful team.

OK sense you wish to stay with your mom, send the dog back, so he 
can
be with someone else who will get out with him and work him.
You both would be happier.
I am sorry that all we have suggested doesn't work.
Then when you learn all of the things you want to learn, you can 
be on
your own, and ask again for another dog if you choose to travel 
with a dog.
you will feel better about yourself first, that is what is 
important.
Your dog is young and he will be happier getting out even if it 
is
short trips each day.
Wishing you the best.

  Sometimes, yes.  I can't live on my own because I have to help
 my mom with her mortgage she lives on her own and has to pay 
like
 18000 a month 2 times.  I'm not really that independent enough 
to
 live on my own.  I don't know anything about money management or
 anything like that.  I still have to plan my career and get the
 proper training.

 Are you sorry you got your dog?
 You know how you are living before you got the dog.
 Nothing has changed, and I know you can change it.
 I know in your state you can get into low income housing, go for
 it, in
 the city so that you can use your dog more.
 You would be able to have your own money then, and be able to do
 all of
 the dreams you have shared one at a time.
 Do think about it, you would smile even more than you are 
smiling
 now.

  don't have any crs who's houses I can go to.  My only real
 friend
  is Wizard.

  If you're only walking in your neighborhood, every day the 
same,
  and it's
  not very challenging, he might just be bored.  Or he may be a
  destination-oriented dog who doesn't enjoy what I call the big
  circle,
  leaving home and going in a big circle back to home.
  Is there anywhere you can walk to, like a store, park, friend's
  house?
  Can you accompany someone in your family when they go out
 grocery
  shopping
  or whatever?

   Wizard used to love to work when we were at the school with
   instructors but now that we're home he goes slow and acts like
  he
   don't want to go.
