hey I never thought of that they do say ! get my dog under
control which I have no problem doing. I just have a problem
with him guiding when the instructors jet too far ;his us. The
trainers say it's because they are pack animals and they don't
want to leave the rest of their pack behind.

The trainers can be testing you to see if you are handling him
correctly. In a situation where there is a distraction. Because
he
may pull you down. so always be on your guard (and your toes)
I ahve to constantly be aware of what my dogs movements and
approaches are.

Yeah and I notice that when I prase him he doesn't get very
excited. The instructor said he went nuts for praise and jumps
up and stuff but he doesn't get too excited when I praise him.
But the trainer if she just says Hi Wiz." He goes nuts.

I did the obedience commands with the trainer here. "Sit, down,
stay,
come" and so on. If she didn't obey i corrected. If the
trainer
is
there with you go for it. If Wizzard focuses on the trainer
turn
Wiz
away from the trainer and try that until he gets it right.
If that's a good Guide dog like you say he will aim to please
you.
Praise is everything.

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

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.

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.
