[nagdu] Dogs and instructors

Tue Oct 16 18:39:30 UTC 2012

my dog will stay on leash for at least 6 months.  He still tries 
to follow me if I let him off in my room but he's always on leash 
or tie-down except for when I play with him in the yard.  But 
when the instructors are here he's just on leash until they say 
to put his harness on.

Hi Sarah,
Can you keep your dog on leash with you, then you know what is
happening with him at all times.
This is a problem living with family and taking training, with a 
guide dog.
One of the things I mentioned to you before you got the dog.
Now you have him, and just keep him on leash so he gets to know 
you.
I am also in my second month with my guide, and when anyone comes 
to
the door, he is on leash.
I even ask my husband not to open door until dog is on leash.
Then I know I have the control.
Wishing you the best.

 They said to just do a strong leash correction but I wish they
 wouldn't make eye contact and interact with the dog.

 It's an excuse if they are doing this then telling you to "keep
 him under control" without telling you how to make that happen.

 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.
