[nagdu] rest for the soul...good or bad?

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi Daniel,
Congratulations on your new dog! Yes, training can be very exhausting. I don't think a few days of light work will hurt Irene. When I came home from training in 2009, I took about a week to recover /smiles/. We still did short walks in the neighborhood and trips to stores and doctor offices. 
Deanna and Pascal

Hey guys! I just got back from the seeing eye with my new dog, Irene, a golden retriever/black lab mix. Down at the school, training was pretty tiring because we were going all the time but now that I'm back home, I'm not going so much for a bit. My activity level will pick back up in about a week when I move out for college and start learning new routes and what not.
My question is (probably pretty stupid to ask): is it bad for my dog to get about a week "off"? I mean, we'll still be working and what not just.not too terribly hard. 

Sorry if this is too dumb of  a question. It's just something I didn't ask down at the school.

Thanks,

Dan
