[nagdu] to Sarah on dog behavior

He's getting better because I corrcted him severely and he hasn't 
growled since.  After a good leash corrction, he's been good.

Good, Sarah.  Glad you are discussing the growling wiht the 
instructors.  That shows that you are concerned about a behavior 
that you don't want to get out of hand.

Hello Sarah-
I am happy that you are enjoying your new dog.  As for the
growling, could it
be that the dog was being territorial because  he didn't
recognize the
people who were  coming in to what he considers to be his house
and not
growling specifically at your mom and uncle? Some dogs do tend to
growl and
bark when they see a person who they don't recognize come in to
what has
been their home for many months and it has nothing to do with
protecting a
specific person.  I hope that you shared this behavior with your
trainers
because it needs to be dealt with before you go home with your
dog.  Also,
you have expressed interest in wanting to become a Braille
teacher and
working at JBA in Los Angeles.  JBA is a blind adjustment program
where some
of the students and staff have guide dogs as well as there is
also a program
for children who have severe to profound disabilities on the same
campus.
Therefore your dog has to be under control.  I am not trying to
be mean or
chastise you, I'm being very honest  with you on this issue with
your dog.  I
want you to be successful with your new partnership and if your
dog is
growling at people you won't be.  So please, please discuss this
issue with
your instructors and allow them to assist you with correcting
this behavior.

Good luck.
Tina

He growled at my uncle and my mom when they came too close to me.

 He's a black Labrador named Wizzard! We are already bonding and

already tried protecting me from people twice! He is an amazing
guide and
very cautious.  I don't think Jenny Baker likes me very much but
I dont know
why she has a problem with me.  I like Ty-Ann a bot she is so
cool!

 I believe Tuesday you were matched with your lovely dog.  I
won't say  what
the breed is but i did see pictures on Facebook of all the
students  and
the moment they were introduced to their beloeved  workers.  I
know 2 of the
students that are in class with you.
 Everyone seemed so ahppy about their match.  How is it going?
Tell us
 about your dog.

 Best wishes to you

 warmly,
