[NAGDU] New seeing eye graduate and a question

[bettyJo]

congratulations!  it varies.  my 4th guide was a 14 month old poodle.  we played for an hour every evening.  i used play to shape better recall , new command vocabulary and promote bonding.  a year and a half later play varies from a few tosses of a ball when we take out the trash,  she doesn't work then, to half an hour.Do what feels right in the moment.

hey Guys,
I just graduated from the seeing eye this past Thursday with my black lab Titan. Been about five years since I worked with a dog guide, and I'm a bit rusty. Just wanted to introduce myself as I have subscribed to this resource so that I can learn what others go through and how I can best be successful with this amazing . Hope everyone's doing well! And we are learning my routes at home, and it's an evolving  experience. One question for you, how much play time do you implement into your daily schedules? Never stop being amazing.
Michael
