[nagdu] Dogs and instructors

[Chantel Cuddemi]

Motley only wagged his tail at the trainer once when she came over with some
scissors to cut the hair around his eyes. 

We were told to keep the dogs under control. 

It wasn't easy at the beginning, but we did it somehow.

Hello everyone,
When you first got your dogs, did your dogs go nuts when they saw 
the trainers? What did you do? Did you let them go nuts and say 
hi to the trainers or get them under control?

Hi all,

When I first came home from Pilot with Motley, the trainer and my 
mobility
instructor worked on my area with Motley and I.

My mobility instructor seemed to be familiar with guide dogs 
because she and
the trainer go way back.

Anyhow, she was able to help Motley and I along with routes here 
in my
neighborhood, and it's worked out great!

All my best,

Chantel and Motley

I know that lots of these folks don't know much about dog use, 
but as they
show us a route, can't we tell them what we need? That's how I've 
dealt with
any here.

 We have an O and M instructor in this area who's very familiar

guide dog teams work.  I hear she's leaving, though.  I think one 
or two of
the O and M instructors at our private blindness agency know 
about dogs,
too, but, yes, those are few and far between.  I know some of the 
schools
offer O and M people the opportunity to work with a dog, etc., 
but I wonder
how much they get to learn in the space of a couple of days.  In 
other
words, do they learn enough to be able to help someone learn a 
route or to
know what the dog is or isn't dong or the owner is or isn't 
doing.
