Sarah
Leone really missed me a lot.  they also ahd her ona  diet.  .  
So she
was about what she is now at 70 pounds.  I'm her mama peach.  she 
waas
so very ahppy to see me and ran right up to me.    Although she 
was
attracted to her trainer Michal Anna she knew I'm her boss and 
she
stayed.  Michal Anna worked with us a few days then returned back 
to
the school to prepare for your class.

Always always always do the obedience commands before even going 
out
to potty in the mornin.   the boy will learn fast.

 I had that happen with me, Sarah.  And voice commands and
 correction
 just don't seem to work and i ended up dragging the dog.  LOL
 Today
 is better though then back then.

 She was taken away for 2 months of training.  (summer school)
 Now
 with mostly voice commands alone she obeys.  She ahs not really
 pulled
 much.  It's some getting used to.  I'm a new dog handler myself.
 Leone is my first dog.  We learn as we go along.

  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.

   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.
