Hello John, and all:

As part of your application process to the Seeing Eye they will send out an
instructor to do a Juno walk, and get to know you a little. If you are
denied,  they will tell you exactly why, and exactly what they think you
need to work on. I think you'll get a lot out of visiting with an
instructor. It will definitely give you, and them much more information then
a video. 
I'm currently with my 2nd dog from The seeing Eye, and I'd be happy to
answer any questions you have. Feel free to email me off list at
jeff.young8806 at gmail.com

My dog and I both have completely natural, and matching, fast walking paces.
Whether I'm walking alone, with a cane, or with my dog, I just tend to walk
quickly and always have. I hope that wouldn't be grounds for rejection
sometime in the future.
