[nagdu] Introducing Myself

[Daryl Marie]

Hi, Helga!
Welcome to the list.

My name is Daryl, and I live in Canada.  I am working with my first guide dog, Jenny, from BC/Alberta guide dogs.

It is important to have good street-crossing skills before getting a guide dog, because IMHO if you are not confident the dog will pick up on your fear and reddicence and that can undermine the training.

Welcome to the list!  It can get very lively at times, and there is always a lot to talk about.

Daryl

Hi all, this is Helga! How are you all? I just wanted to tell you that I became a member of this list two days ago!, and I really like this list a lot! Just to let you know, I don’t have a guide dog yet, but I’m in the process in getting one! The reason I say that is because I talked to South Eastern guide dog school and they sent me an application, but I really didn’t fill it completely yet since I need to work with my mobility instructor in street crossing! In fact, I’m not really so good in street crossing since I’m a little scare to cross the streets due to the fact that there are a lot of cars. However, I know that it is not impossible, and I’m good in route traveling since I’m in college, but my mobility instructor told me that I need to be able to cross the streets in order to get a guide dog! Is that true? Just wondering. I will probably will have a lot more questions along the way regarding guide dogs, and guide dog scchools. Hope to hear from you soon, and hope to  talk to you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!!
