[nagdu] Hi

[Star Gazer]

Barb, 
Talk to your boss and present it as training like computer or other training, training that you will use to help make you a better employee. Look at your com
Pany and see what types of courses they offer, many do offer multiweek courses of all kinds. 
I'd approach from that angle. 
As for Fildelco, you have to understand that they don't grant ownership, which means they can take your dog at any time for any reason. It's be like if I lent you my Ipod, I could come and get it whenever I liked. The school may never do this to you, but they do have that option.

Yes, I have herd about things with fidelco, but I don't know what the issues are.   I don't want trouble, and if I find they are to stricked  in some of their needs and conditions, I will look into another school.   If the people who have dogs from fidelco get this, could they tell me what I may need to know. I know Seeing Eye has GSD's but they have a four week program.  How if I can get my  boss to let me talk that time, I would go there, or pilot dogs.  
  
Thanks
Barb

Best of luck choosing a school. Whatever school you choose, be sure to familiarize yourself with its contract. Some  schools do not grant you full ownership of your dog and requires certain conditions be met. There are several people who got dogs from Fidelco on this list.

It is hard enough to get a couple of days off work two to four weeks would be hard.  I know that I still have to take time off to train with Fidelco, but if I can't get a shift covered, maybe we could use that as a training session.   Plus I have two dogs at home that are my roommates, and the trainer could maybe help with introducing them.
