[nagdu] guide dog school rejecting application

[Chantel Cuddemi]

You are correct, Tracy

Pilot Dogs now has changed their achievement walk.

When I first got Motley, we had to go in to a store and buy something. Now, Pilot has it to where it's all about procedures and how you handle your dog in certain situations.

Also, they use different harnesses now. I got to see some when I was in brushup training. 

Chantel.

I gather, from what some Pilot graduates have said, that Pilot usually doesn't reject anyone's application.  Instead, they give a test at the end of training.  If you pass, you go home with the dog, otherwise not.
The test is whether you and your dog can successfully get through a particular route without any help from the trainer.
