[nagdu] Dogs and instructors

[Sarah]

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one.  I thought it meant he 
doesn't want to be or work with me anymore.

You need to ask this question to Bob & the trainers.
I can tell you that the trainers do not make eye contact with the
dogs.  But since they were a part of their lives  for quite some 
time
it's normal to be hapy to see them.
I need to be careful or i'll be pulled to the ground.  Leone 
wears a
prong collar.  So I correct her when she gets all excited.  If 
the
trainers  pet and cuddle her it's only for a short time then it's 
back
to work.  It's a normal process for the dogs.

Since you are not so far from the school I bet Wizzard will ahve 
some
surprise visits from the trainers.

Best of luck Sarah!

 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
 with how
 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.
