Subject: [NAGDU] Guide dog teams for persons in wheelchairs
Hi list =3D3D3DE2=3D3D3D80=3D3D3D93
I have been trying to find out what Guide dog schools still train guide =
=3D3D dogs=3D3D3D for use in a team with a person in a wheelchair. =
Years =3D3D ago,Guide Dogs For T=3D3D3D he Blind had that kind of =
program but as far as =3D3D=3D
I know, they do not do it a=3D3D3D nymore.
I noticed on the Nagdu homepage that there is a woman in a wheelchair =
=3D3D with h=3D3D3D er Guide dog walking next to her. So this would seem =
that =3D3D there is at least o=3D3D3D ne school that still trained guide =
dogs for =3D3D working in a team with someone i=3D3D3D n a wheelchair.
My question is=3D3D3DE2=3D3D3D80=3D3D3DA6 Does anybody here know what =
schools that=3D =3D3D might be?
Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Diane and Jaxi
