I've been accepted by both Guiding Eyes and Guide dog foundation. I'm on waiting
lists due to my need for a special dog due to my arthritis. Both schools know,
and whichever one has a dog first is where I will get a dog. And of course I'd
let them both know. Both schools are doing home training only, and GEB would be
home training anyway since I would be getting a dog from their specialized
training program. In regard to the original email. Guiding Eyes does have
shepherds, and GDF does not.

I guess it's all the fashion these days to apply to multiple schools.  I have
never done that myself.  I've done my research, decided what I thought was best,
and applied there.  If they had turned me down, I would have applied to my B
school, and so on.  

I beg people who apply to multiple schools to let the ones who accepted you know
if you decide to go elsewhere.  There are people anxiously waiting for places in
class.  If a place has been reserved for you, and you've decided to go somewhere
else, let the school know so someone else can have that place.  This is
especially true now, when COVID restrictions are making waiting lists even
longer.

Tracy
