[nagdu] Dogs and instructors

Mon Oct 15 19:27:22 UTC 2012

they just talk high-pitched to the dog, which he loves.  Then 
when he's guiding they'll be far off behind us and Wizard won't 
go forward unless there right behind us even though they try to 
be a few bleks back.  It's very frustrating and today I feel 
depressed.

They try to make the dog more excited? That really doesn't make 
any sense.

What exactly do you mean by this.

 It's not excuses they told me that the dogs should fet excited 
because they have been working with the dogs for the past 6 
months.  And every time they come they always make contact with 
the dog to make him more excited.

 Sounds like excuse making to me.

 Yeah I'll ask Emceafor about it, but the last time they just 
said
 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.
