Hi,
I haven't been excepted to any of the Guide Dog Training schools.
The forms for the Excelerated mobility training program are being sent to me 
in the mail.
The application for the program is no longer available on the leader dog 
website.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders

Have you been excepted to any of the Geico schools yet? And is the leader 
dog program with the cane? Also, you might again want to talk to an advisor 
and see if he/she can help you!
