Vivianna, that is not why Seeing Eye stopped teaching the Fetch
command. It is a difficult thing to teach, it ruled out some
dogs that would have otherwise made wonderful guides, it is
physically hard on instructors, as well. Plus there were things
that at least Seeing Eye felt were more important, like
intensifying the training for traffic. I miss the Fetch command,
but my third dog was the most excellent at it. I could drop
something and she would come and pick it up for me and give it to
me. Blessings, Debby and Nova
