I have seen them both post to this list, but not in some time.  I'll see if I can find their email addresses and I'll send them to you privately.

>> I know this is not totally a guide dog subject, but I have a guide dog who I want to teach. Specifically to those owner trainers, where  do I look for information,or to whom do I speak to about how to train my pup to alert to sounds? I found a few videos on YouTube, but if I can't see them, they do no good. I want my pup to alert to my name, the door bell, a honking horn, and other things. Both in my home and out in public. I would like for her to nudge me with her nose for the alerting. I have been trying to do this with my very basic knowledge of how to train pups, but its not been working. Alot of what I have been finding uses the clicker to positive reforcement. But if I can't hear the sound, how do I know to click. I recently found out that my hearing loss is now at a 90DB loss. I am struggling. My pup is great, she is super smart. I of course need her to guide, and to do her balance work, but its now I must have an alert dog. Please don't tell me to consult my school. I am looking for resources, information, anything that will help. Also please do not tell me that a guide dog can't do these tasks. my dog is capable of anything, just as all service animals are. your welcome to email me offlist at marsha.drenth at gmail.com
