[nagdu] Customer satisfaction

Thu Mar 26 11:21:25 UTC 2015

	Though Southeastern claims to give full ownership upon completion of
training, they also now require their consumers to retire their dogs by the
age of 11. So, you tell me, if you own your dog, how can they have a
mandatory retirement age? I asked that question during the Florida
Association of Guide dog Users meeting in January and got no answer. 

Fraternally yours,

Hi Ms. Debby. How are you? I just wanted to ask you, have you consider in
applying to Southeastern Guide Dog school? Just wondering. This school is
located in Tampa Florida, but I think they also give you ownership of your
dog! I'm not so sure about though. If someone knows, feel free to correct me
ok?  I'm considering in applying over there this July! However, I don't know
you have heard of the policy that they have,I'm actually aginst it  a little
bit, but the reason I'm considering in applying over there is because I live
in Florida. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!

I hope not, Tracy but it may have to be that.  This is so hard for me as
I've been getting my dogs from TSE since 1981.  And if I end up going to
GDB, I'll have to eat crow, too.  (Grin).  But I don't know what to do.  In
the meantime, my application is in at TSE, and I have to decide if I'm going
to apply elsewhere where that would be.  There are things I like about GEB,
but I know their waiting list is long, too.  Leader has a fairly short wait
time once you get accepted, which can take 30 to 60 days.  I like GDA but
for are fairly small, and I think their wait times might be pretty long,
too.  I just can't make myself go to Pilot.
As much as I am trying to stop being close-minded about that school, I just
can't quite make that leap.  There is Fidelco, but I have a hard time seeing
me with a shepherd.  And then there's Guide Dog Foundation.  I really like
Jenine Stanley and have heard good things about that school too, but I'm
also hearing rumblings about how "corporate" they're becoming.  I need the
wisdom of Solomon.  And anybody else in this process does too.
Peace,    Debby
