[NAGDU] Choosing the Appropriate Guide Dog School

[d m gina]

Original All schools have their problems good and bad.
With this being your first dog, I would stay close to home while you 
can, and just go for it.
I live in Montana having to travel a distance.
I picked a school that would work for me.
Wishing you the best.
