[nagdu] seeing eye guide dog school question

[Jennifer Woods]

Do they send a representative only if you live in a certain area?

Do you have to live on the east coast or will they send one to the west coast?

Thank you 
Jennifer

I am also a Seeing Eye grad. It’s a great school. They didn’t tell me I needed a certain number of routes. They just sent out an instructor to walk one route with me and then do a Juno walk. As long as you can do that and have a good physical you’re good to go. Yes, there are plenty of social opportunities. The place is full of lunges and usually people hang out after training sessions to eat, drink coffee, watch movies, etc. Best of luck in whatever you do.

Believe me when I tell you, you're going to have enough to do by doing those things. It is very likely that you will be pretty wiped out at the end of your day, especially as your class time nears its end.
