Yeah because I think it's unacceptable for him to drag me out the 
gate to get to Emily.

You know, if I was having trouble controlling my dog, and someone 
started
talking happy-squeaky to him, I think I'd tell that person to 
knock it
off, trainer or not.  They can play the happy-squeaky game once 
you've got
the dog under control under normal circumstances.

 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.
