[NAGDU] Fell, again

[Dan Weiner]

Well yes, I'm so sorry that happened, I was matched with a dog at leader in
2007, a wonderful obedient pup, but she kept getting me close to the right
edge and yes I fell, plus that I have a torn ligament anywya, it wasn't
good...so I can see it happening and you're right to be concerned.
We're all here to support you and let us know what happens.

Yours, 
Dan the man with Parker the nut

Once again, Krokus pushed me off the right edge of the sidewalk, so I fell
down, and got some scrapes and bruises.  I think it was a place where the
sidewalk narrowed down a bit, and he just kept going straight.  Really,
though, I don't care why.  This is the third time he's done the same thing,
missed an edge, or the line between the sidewalk and a parking lot, so that
I've fallen.  He remembers for a while, then it happens again.  I don't know
if I'm more clumsy than I used to be, or he's more careless, but I don't
remember falling so much with any other dog.  I'm losing confidence in him.
He can be an excellent guide, but sometimes he's not. 
Not taking me off the edge is basic stuff.  I guess I could start carrying
my cane all the time, to check him, but then what's the point of having him?
I have a call into the school, to see what they say.  If others know how to
fix this problem, I'll consider ideas.  Call me crazy, but a guide dog
should keep me from falling, clumsy or not.
