[NAGDU] Faster training times. Is this a growing trend?

[Tara Briggs]

Hi all! I recently got the wonderful news that I will be going to get my new puppy on September 24. I will be going to the seeing eye. Back in 2009, I arrived on the Saturday and we got our dogs on Monday afternoon. This time, I will be arriving on Monday and we will get our dogs on Wednesday morning. This arrival on a Monday means that our training at the Seeing Eye has been shortened by two days. I gather that other kind of schools have done a similar shortening of training. I think that guy ducks the blind has shortened their training by quite a bit although I don’t know this for sure. Anyway, am I accurate in saying this is a growing trend among Guide dog training schools? If so, what are anyone’s thoughts or experiences? Thanks!
