Dear recent TSE grads,<br>
I know that someone doesn't"Graduate" from TSE, but I have some questions for those who have recently trained there.<br>
I have applied for my ninth guide dog, and have been surprised by some changes in the training approach at my last school.<br>
Does TSE teach handlers to use food rewards for bonding or guide work?<br>
Does it teach one to use a white cane while guiding?<br>
Does it teach the follow command or something like it, or has that command been discarded as unsafe? <br>
I'd love to hear from you, as your answers may help me to decide which school to attend.<br>
Thank you very much.<br>
Elizabeth<br>
