Subject: Re: [NAGDU] Why I feel dog ownership is important
I also take the view that guide dog users are the customer/consumer/whatever term you want to use. If people did not want/need guide dogs, there would be no guide dog programs. No GDMIs, no puppy raisers, no kennel staff, no directors of training. Guide dog programs are nonprofits, and I am grateful to all the people that donate money and time to help turn puppies into guides. I am aware of public perception and image that plays into getting donations and maintaining the "feel good" mentality of volunteers, and that is part of the reason why I mostly present guide dogs and the program in a positive light. That being said, being grateful to volunteers and donors doesn't mean I feel that I owe everything to the kind guide dog program for allowing me to receive a dog. I am a responsible adult. I had to work to learn O&M skills, to research programs, to sell myself as a worthy applicant to the school, to learn to work with the dog effectively, and to maintain the training and care of this dog every single day. I am not a child that needs to be watched in case I make a big enough mistake, and be reminded the dog I have worked with for months or years belongs to someone who may not have even met the dog or me. Guide dog trainers are people to, and they do not always approach situations objectively. I have seen programs threaten to remove dogs for things as minor as switching to a brand of food other than the company the program is sponsored by, posting pictures on social media of the dog with some kind of reference to political/religious beliefs the program did not support, and using training gear the school doesn't endorse. By no means do I think programs are going around looking for reasons to remove dogs and 99% of people without ownership probably won't have a problem, but that isn't much consolation to the minority who do have their dog taken away.
I think that it is important for programs to have stringent application criteria, and to screen applicants for those who can truly benefit from and care for a dog. Programs should make sure that their in person training is comprehensive, perhaps make lecture material available to review, and make sure graduates have follow up if they need it. I believe if graduates feel comfortable bringing up concerns with the program, there will be a lot less problems with training and health. I have seen many, many cases of people asking for help from other handlers or friends about a training or health issue, because they are not comfortable contacting the program for fear of their dog being removed. I would rather see someone reach out to say for example, I know my dog is significantly overweight and I want to change that, rather than potentially allowing their dog to remain overweight because they don't know how to solve the problem without the school's help.
People who adopt dogs from rescues or purchase dogs from responsible breeders (who aren't just breeding dogs for profit), don't have to sign contracts where the dog can be removed for being overweight or using certain training gear. Usually responsible adults own their pets outright, or have minor agreements in their contracts (like agreeing to spay/neuter or notifying the breeder/rescue if they can't care for the dog anymore). Sure, pets don't require the same investment in time or money, but pet owners also don't get 2-4 weeks of intensive training and lifetime support on how to work with and care for their dogs.
For me, it comes down to the fact that people with disabilities are adults, not children. No system is 100% perfect, but guide dog programs should treat prospective students as people who need to prove they are worthy of a guide dog, and graduates as responsible adults who can make good decisions when given proper education and resources.
I can see the benefit of potentially offering a trial period for individual students who have had a questionable past with dogs but who are showing improvement, if the school wants to give a second chance without risking the dog's safety. This should be discussed with the student though, and they should have a chance to receive ownership after specific criteria have been met. I know at least one program has this option. I don't think it is necessary to have a trial period of
1-2 years for every single student every time they get a dog.
I really don't mean this as a personal attack by any means, but I would ask if it is OK to remove a dog for being obese, is it OK to take a child away from their parents for being obese? Neither dogs or children really have a choice about food consumption or anything else.
