[NAGDU] Dispute resolution

[NAGDU President]

David,

	NAGDU is currently assisting a guide dog user whose dog was removed
without cause in spite of the fact that she has a written ownership
agreement. She has attempted to resolve this issue with the program and they
have been nonresponsive. She has given NAGDU consent for us to speak to them
and for them to release any information they have and they are refusing to
speak to us. Given the ownership issue, the illegal theft of her dog, their
unwillingness to speak to either she or us, do you propose we not pursue
litigation against the training program because they are so "venerable"? How
venerable is a company that breaches contracts, commits larceny, and then
believes they are immune from questioning?

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala

Well, I wouldn't be comfortable suing a guide dog school. Arguing due
process rights with a venerable non-profit IMHO would not be a productive
use of money or time. 'Better that these rights be agreed upon before there
is a dispute.  A recommendation favoring due process procedures, if any, and
full ownership from a venerable advocacy group might help eliminate some of
the ambiguity that schools seem to maintain in their contracts and policies.
Also, in  my opinion, handlers, schools, and regulators would be better
served relying upon local civil remedies than fuzzy ownership ideas.  If
there is a perception that a handler's treatment is a problem, then the
handler should maintain his or her due process rights that accompany his or
her full ownership of the dog under local law.
