[NAGDU] Certification wasGuide dogs for the deafblind.

[Cindy Ray]

That could be one of the ramifications of our having to have our dogs
certified here in the States. It could be possible for the lawmakers to
decide that if you are going to use a service dog it must be trained by one
of the training programs here. Another good reason to beware of laws that
are trying to be passed such as that one in Illinois.

Hi Rox. dbTarzan here.
Japanese dogs for the deafblind do not have property of both guide dog and
hearing dog but extended guide dog. For example, using sign, sensitive to
car sounds and so on. All guide dogs have to be trained by schools in Japan.
No one train them by oneself. Because certificate is required to become a
guide dog.
