[NAGDU] Good news for now

Sat Sep 1 15:06:43 UTC 2018

Gabriel, I hear you. I would be concerned when that light switch would turn
off and you are left in the middle of the street walking between traffic. Or
the dog get so distracted a manhole has your name on it. Anyway, plane and
simple you are not safe Jordan. Otherwise, you could predict when the dog
wasn't and was safe. Leave it home the days the dog is not safe, and travel
when the dog and you are working as one, in a team.

Gang, all remember that point. You are one, in that team. You hold up your
side of the team and the pup hold up the other side of the team. It is like
going into business with someone. When one is doing the work of two, that is
when to cash it in and go your separate ways.

hi Jordan and all
I have being following this thread and a couple others from Jordon in
regards to issues with their guide, this is just my thoughts, on this.  If
you are having these types of issues when your guide works sometime and not
other times, it is time to give your guide back to the school, and apply for
another guide.  This might sound harsh, and it is not meant to be, I had a
similar experience with one of my previous guides and no matter how much
retraining was done with him he would just not work, in certain areas for
me.  The school tried to pressure me in taking him back and working with him
less and less, which was not suitable for me in regards to travel etc.
I think Jordon you stated that you had applied to another school or
something like that, on one of your previous posts, just curious how did
that go?  Yes before people here start jumping down my throat here, this is
just my humble thought if the dog is not performing to a high professional
standard and could put ones life in danger well retire  your guide.
I do feel for Jordon, for myself I would not work with a dog that was not
working professionally regards Gabriel

field rep I usually am in contact with says, John Dettloff, Belto is one of
those dogs that seeems to cycle from working really well for a bit then not
working well at all for a bit.  This time though it was a bad enough bit
that pulling the plug was highly probable.  Fortunately, I now do not have
to do that since he has his head on straight again.
