Dear Alyssa,
I am very sorry to hear about your lost partnership with Sophie; I
will concur with others who have said it, size doesn't equal hard pull, so
what you want to focus on, is a dog whose pull isn't so great, though Tracy
makes some excellent points for a smaller dog.
Remember mismatches can occur with any school, so you might want to
make up a short list of the most important things to you in a dog and then
in a school and check them out from there.

Subject: [nagdu] Sad news regarding Sophie
Hello list. I have unfortunate news regarding Sophie girl. Within 2 days,
she caused injuries to me. One involved food at the bottom of some stairs
while in harness. The other involved her getting excited about seeing
another dog during her park time. The force she used caused me to break a
bone in my hand. Today Sophie is going back to Leader Dog and I most likely
have to get a different dog. I'm trying to decide whether to stick with the
same school since some of their training methods don't seem to work well. In
the event I must select a different school, does anyone have suggestions?
I'll give you some info on my travel needs so you have them to go by. I'm an
18 year old college student who walks a decent amount every day for classes.
I prefer a smaller dog as it can fit more easily under desks and will not
have as strong of a pull. Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Alyssa
