I signed the transfer of ownership at the school in class as 
well.
August 1st 2013 I will ahve complete ownership of Leone.

We ahve no sidewalks here where I live.  She knows what she is
supposed to do and ahs done a great job at it.  We take the 
street
close to the grass to a driveway then up the driveway to the 
sidewalk
when there is one.  It ahsn't been a problem for me really.

 Leone do when you did sidewalkless training? Wizard kept pushing
 me into the street but the instructors either weren't watching 
or
 didn't say anything.  But yeah, I've hear^ of most schools 
giving
 you ownership of the dog upon graduation.

 Some schools offer complete ownership at time of Graduation.  I
 ahve
 heard some schools make you wait 2 years.
 You know After my fall and hospitalization when Leone pulled me
 in a
 dog distractiona nd she was taken from me for evaluation and
 re-train
 the ownership contract was changed for another year.  So here I
 wait.
 I actually forgot about the ownership contract.  so make sure 
you
 do
 the signing and sending it in and everything right on time.

  Hannah,

  i am sorry you won't get to keep her.  That really stinks.  If
 my
  memory is serving me correctly, Princess is a poodle, right?
  There are other schools who use poodles, where you can get
  ownership.  Not that I am plugging for my school, but its
  something to think about.  I have also had a pup, and had to
 send
  her back to the school because of that ownership thing.  I 
won't
  go back to a school that doesn't give ownership every again.

  When is your semester over? Nor did I realize that you were
  living in dorms.  I am sorry.  atleast for me, I commute to my
  university so I can escape that life.

   Thank you marsha and all.  Yes, university life is very
  difficult for dogs
   and it does take a lot.  Guess Princess doesn't have it 
either.
   She is only 3 acording to Pilot, and they seem to want her
 back.
  I haven't
   really been able to connect with them because they are not
  calling me back.
   I can't have a pet in the dorms and I can't really afford to
  keep one
   either, but I do have very close friends who would love to 
have
  Princess.
   I'm going to do my best to try to keep her, but since I don't
  have ownership
   of her and she is only 3, I think that she'll get some more
  training with
   Pilot and go work with someone else.  Maybe she'll do better 
in
  other
   environments, who knows...

   Hannah,


   Awwww I am very very sorry to hear about this.  Its so hard to
  retire your
   parnter at any point.  Espically during your semester.  I have
  been there done
   that, not sure i want to do that again.

   I am learning as a university student myself it takes a very
  very special
   pup to be able to put up with university life.  My university
  also has many
   of the same challenges as yours.  Squirrels, bikers,
  skateboarders, thousands
   of students, cars, trucks, subway, train, birds, and more.  
The
  pup so far is
   doing great, emma could not.

   I wish you luck.  Will you keep Princess as a pet? And will 
you
  get another
   guide? Just curious.

   Hello all,
   I hope everyone is doing well.  I haven't been posting or
  keeping up
   with everything recently because this is my first quarter at 
UC
  Davis
   and things have been pretty crazy.  Now that everything is 
sort
  of
   falling in to place, I wanted to welcome everyone who is new 
to
  the
   list, the people who have returned, and an update about
  Princess.
   Unfortunately she has not improved much since I last posted
  about her
   work.
   it has been almost a year, and campus is a pretty busy place.
  We have
   a lot of distractions - all the students, over 20,000 bikes,
 and
  the
   millions of squirrels that we pass every day - so Princess is
  not
   doing so well.  I thought that perhaps being here for over 3
  months
   would help, but it has not, and she continuously walks me in 
to
   objects, wants to run after the squirrels or students, and
 seeks
   attention from everyone who says something along the lines of,
  "awww! Cute
   doggie!".
   With all this in mind, I have decided that I will retire her
  because
   of all the stress for her and for me.
   I know that it will be a great loss since we've bonded, but
 I've
  also
   had a lot of time to get used to this idea.  I don't know when
 I
  will
   retire her because Pilot has not been very good about 
returning
  my
   calls, but I do know that it will happen very soon.
   I'm sure many of you have gone through this before, and I just
  hope
   that I won't be too depressed over it.
   Once again I hope everyone is doing well with your guides, and
  happy
   Thanksgiving! :) All the best, Hannah
