[NAGDU] update on GDA exceptence

[Michael Hingson]

I agree with Buddy. You should tell the truth. Speak from your heart.
However, what does " more fluent in my travel skills" mean? A guide dog is
trained to take direction from you. YTe two of you are a team. You are the
one telling the dog what you want and where to go. The dog guides and keeps
you safe while traveling.

Certainly you may feel more confident using a guide dog. If this is so you
should be prepared to discuss why if asked. Ultimately, if what I interpret
your remarks to mean is correct, you plain feel better using a guide dog,
and having a team approach gives you more confidence.
Don't worry about what you think they want to hear. Tell them what you
believe and think. That will always work. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Subject: [NAGDU] update on GDA exceptence

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I did get a response from the person who
does admissions in to GDA.
They said that I should be getting a call from a trainer with in the next
couple of weeks.
I have a question: if the trainer asks me why I would want a dog, what
should I tell them?
I'm not sure if this is the answer that they are wanting but, I would say
something along the lines of: "I'm wanting a dog so I can be more fluent in
my travel skills".
Is that an answer that I should give?
Or, how should I answer that question?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders
