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

[Cindy Ray]

Tara, Congratulations on your date. Many of the schools went to arriving on Monday and distributing dogs on Wednesday before The Seeing Eye did. I arrived on Saturday, too, and I think it was maybe a couple of years after that and maybe longer when they changed it. It gives the staff the weekend off I think between classes.

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!
