			Probably me, yes it's a week and taking the class
does not obligate you to get a dog from them or anyplace else.

Hi all,
Someone said that the Leader Program lasts for a week. I thought it was
longer than that, like three weeks. Do they have different periods? It is my
understanding that they do the class for folks even if they aren't getting a
guide dog? I can't remember where I heard that.

Leader Dogs has offered their O & M training for many years to anyone,
regardless of the guide dog school of your choice. 

I know several people who have had 2, 3 or more guide dogs who have taken
the class at Leader prior to being partnered with a successor guide dog.
They have found it very beneficial and learned a great deal.

I have been accepted to attend Leader Dogs O & M class this October 2019. My
current guide dog is getting close to retirement. I feel I can benefit and
sharpen my Orientation and mobility skills by attending the class. In
addition, I can work on polishing my skills as I take the next year to
retire my current guide.  Like many, after working with a guide dog for
several years, my cane skills have suffered and are in need of work!

In my opinion, any IGDF and/or ADI accredited guide dog school who offer
orientation and mobility class, would be excellent to attend.

Take care,
Sarah

Better than the ones offered by GDB partner organizations?
