[nagdu] Preparing to bring your Guide dog home

[helga.schreiber26 at gmail.com]

Hey! Roana! This is a good question. I'm also curious! I'm going to apply 
for my first guide dog perhaps on July, and I'm also wondering the same 
thing. It will be great to hear more opinion about this matter! Usually 
people say that since a person is blind can't really take care of a dog 
since he or she can't see and that will need help from their family members! 
I know that is not true since you guys do it all yourself. However, it is 
true that sometimes yes we need the help from our sighted peers or sighted 
families members right? Just wondering. I will really would like to hear 
your opinion about this matter. I look forward in hearing from you soon.. 
Thanks so much and God bless! :)

I had a bit of a different experience from most Canadian or American 
program-trained teams, as we did our training at home.  I was able to ask 
the trainer about specific situations, especially with Jenny and my cats, 
and even have her witness some of the interactions.

But ultimately, it was an exciting time.  The hardest part for me, as I 
think for most people who live with others, is to distance the dog from 
other family ("pack") members while the foundation of bonding takes place.

[nagdu] Preparing to bring your Guide dog home  Dear Nagdu Members, Since I 
want to learn more about guide dogs, I thought I would start this topic. I 
remember how good I felt the first day I brought my cane home from school. I 
remember thinking about how my sighted siblings and other family members 
would react to seeing my cane at home. They are very open to me traveling 
with my cane disever we go someever. How do you prepare to bring your guide 
dogs home after training with them? Look forward to reading your thoughts on 
this topic. _______________________________________________ nagdu mailing
