Eastern Standard Time, for our next in our series of guide dog training program calls. This month we have a super interesting call on a topic which there are countless questions and endless discussions of across the guide dog handling community. We have very much enjoyed our informative calls in January, February and March, with TSE, GEB, and GDF/AVD respectively, but we will have a slight departure from the theme by featuring two guest speakers to discuss another option for obtaining a guide dog in the United States, owner training. Julie Johnson will be joined by another guest speaker, both of these individuals have successfully trained their own guide dogs and will explain the pros and cons, rights and responsibilities, and some of the logistical considerations and aspects of owner training a guide or service dog. These calls, as always, are open to members of the NFB, or ACB, NAGDU or GDUI, and those who choose to belong to neither organization. We welcome current, past, and prospective guide dog handlers, guide dog trainers, orientation and mobility instructors, and anyone else interested in the breeding, raising, training or handling of guide dogs.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The call-in number is (605) 475-4786 and the pass code is 869480. These calls will be recorded and we will have recordings available for listening/download shortly as we are updating our NYAGDU page at present.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
