[Deanna Lewis]

Welcome to the list Martha!
I am Deanna and I live in Cincinnati, OH. I have a 7 year old male black lab from Guide Dogs for the Blind. His name is Pascal, and he will be retiring shortly, due to fear issues. I've had Pascal since 2009 and my vision has decreased significantly since then. I've struggled at times with the decrease in vision and how to work with my dog. Some things we had to work on retraining him, and retraining me to be stricter when it came to him missing obstacles, like low hanging branches. So, I completely understand how much of a challenge it is. Don't worry about it, just trust your dog.

Hi, folks.

I am working my fourth guide dog.  When I got my first dog, I was a "high partial", and I must say that  working a dog, now that I only have light perception, is a real game changer.  My current guide has been with me for 8 years. He will be retiring soon.  Even as an experienced guide dog user, training without any vision and with a new guide will be very different! 

I have a question.
The Dog Food Advisor has an email list that sends out notification of dog food recalls. I subscribe to that list.  
Are these recall alerts posted to this NAGDU group?  If not, I can forward the alerts to this list, if that would be helpful.
