[nagdu] Medical leave?

I tried once to get medical leave to cover training with a dog.  I have way
more sick time than I hope I will ever need.  My boss was willing, but HR
totally didn't get it.
I think, this last time, my boss got HR to agree to using training time for
part of the time, and the rest I took as vacation.  Not ideal, but it could
have been worse.  HR drives me nuts. They seem incapable of understanding
anything the least bit out of the ordinary.
Good luck.  I'll be interested to hear what you can work out.

Hi all, 

I seen to recall a discussion quite awhile back about going for training to
get a guide being somehow covered under medical leave or something like
that. I am at a crossroads right now and am not sure if I am going to end up
owner training or going through a program, and if I do go to a program, I
will need to take time off of work. 

Is there a way other than paid time off to get paid? I am going to look into
working remotely as much as possible, but I would like to know if training
with a guide dog is covered under some other form of leave. Thanks all.
