[nagdu] Introducing Myself

[blindcowgirl1993 at gmail.com]

Hi, Helga,
I will chime in, just as others have. I am working my first dog from the Seeing Eye, a yellow Labrador named Dallas. I will agree with everything everyone else has said here. It is vital that you be able to make safe street crossings decisions before you get your dog. If you are really nervous about crossing streets, your dog will definitely pick up on that and might not work properly.
Hope that helps, and I would encourage you to do your research on your schools. Do not just apply to one, in case that school will not take you. Keep in mind what you want in a dog, whether or not you want to own your dog, and whether or not you want veterinary support. These are only a few things.
Thanks,
Aleeha

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!!
