[nagdu] Programs Requiring Use of a Head Collar One Time

[Rachel Krieg]

Hello, Lyn.

Forgive me if you've mentioned this, but I hadn't seen it on list; what's
happened to Landon? I'm so sorry you had to retire him. My husband just went
through that with retiring his guide, Bella. She was diagnosed with
congestive heart failure 2 weeks ago, and on Monday, it'll be 2 weeks that
she's been retired. Our landlord has been great, though, letting us keep her
and not charging us a pet deposit.
Rachel and Lady

Hi,
When I was at Seeing Eye in 2007, we had a lecture on the use of the Gentle
Leader head collar.  They taught us how to put it on and how to use it
properly.  We also had to travel to our training destiny with the dog
wearing the GL calmly.  I have since taught other folks how to use it.
