Jessica,
	One thing you may consider is coming to the NAGDU meeting at
convention or participating in our live stream. Guide dog training programs
will discuss some innovative programs on Thursday evening.If you will take
part in the live stream, it will be found on the NAGDU homepage.

Subject: [nagdu] guide dog schools

Hi all,
With the iminant retirement of my precious guide Garbo, I face myself asking
if I made the right choice in school and if per chance there might not be a
better option out there.
Is the 2006  survey the latest information? If not where can I find better?
Anyone who has any info on choosing a school things the others offer,
differences in training between seeing eye and others, that'd be great.
Specifically I'm looking for short class time, 2 max 3 weeks, a school who
uses positive training methods, and who has a good record of health with the
dogs, and a vet assistance program.
Any info or help would be greatly appreciated. Ownership is a concern but I
can wait if I need too.
Oh also, I'd like a school who has some goldens and golden crosses in teh
program but again that's not a top priority.
Thanks a lot.
Jessica and Garbo
