[NAGDU] Not impressed at all with Leader Dogs

[Cindy Ray]

OK folks. Jordan has a problem with his dog from Leader. We don' really know
whether Leader is listening or not--well it is possible that it seems they
are not--but we will need to kind of tamp down those kinds of thoughts if we
did not get our dog from Leader. Jordan did and so Jordan may feel justified
in what he is saying. Jordan has had a tough time with this dog for a long
time, though I was surprised at what has seemed to come up. But some people
are very happy with their Leader Dogs, so making statements like this is not
necessary. Sympathize with Jordan, and if you have a dog from there and had
problems, I am sure it is fine to explain some experiences. If not, then
statements like this subject line are not of any value and need to stop.
Thank you.

Do be careful on behalf of where your hands are when the two dogs wish to
have a fight.
You don't want to lose fingers.
You know, if you feel you have gone as far as you can go, then for to stay
safe, send him back.
You come first.
Not dog.
