Yeah and the dogs are strong so they can pull a lot harder than I 
expected.

I went through the same thing this morning with Leone working her 
in
the amrket.  there was a man sitting on the outside bench with a 
tiny
terrier and Leone pulled.  Dragging me.  I gave a strong 
correction
and we got by fine.  She has a prong on but she still can pull.

 remember.  Most importantly you're the boss.  Correct that dog.
 Even
 if it is around a trainer.  The dog knows what the correction is
 for.

  that the dogs will always get excited.

  Did you talk with the instrutors about it? When I had a similar
  problem, I found the dog would work for me in places we hadn't
  been before.  Be sure you are talking about it.

   With Wizard, he drags me out the gate to get to Emily and will
  not listen to me very good when they're around, and it makes me
  feel more discouraged every time they come over.  Then if they
  get a few feet behind us, he won't go.  They wanted to stay a
 few
  blocks behind us but Wizard wouldn't hop up and I don't know 
how
  to fix it.

   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
   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.
