[NAGDU] My dog

[Brent Franklin]

Hello All,

I lost the original email that was posted here.

Cindy, don't be afraid to change schools. The way I look at this is these
schools are meant to be here for us, if you weren't happy with your phone
service you would go somewhere else.

I know several people who have changed schools, so shop around, and don't be
afraid to commit to another school. End of the day it is all about us the
client.

Best of luck.

Cheers.

Brent.

Cindy,

I am truly sorry to hear this.
While I was at the convention, I met with one of the trainers from the
school where I got Barbara.
She will be 10 in January, and she is doing well in a lot of ways, but she
is also starting to have difficulty with steep steps and with getting into
vehicles that have a high step including the bus I rode from Fort Worth to
Houston.
At any rate, I am applying for my next dog although I feel like I'm
betraying Barbara in some ways.
I explained that I now have a hybrid work environment, and I am not in our
busy downtown area.
I wondered if I should go forward with getting another dog because of the
changes in my lifestyle since the pandemic.

The trainer told me that as long as I was getting out and walking and going
places, there are dogs that don't need a high energy work environment.
As someone else said, there is an appeals process. I would certainly
recommend doing that.

Did the school give you some suggestions about what you can do to build up
your stamina and so forth?
I didn't get a chance to say hi during the  convention unfortunately.

Best

Liz
