[nfb-db] Guide Dog Expenses

[The Pawpower Pack]

it depends on which program you choose— not all will work with DB people, some with work with DB who have HA or CI but not ASL users.  
Also, keep in mind, the more the program pays for medical costs, the less say the owner has in the choices— or at least that has been my experience. And if that doesn't bother you, that's great.  
I train my own dog, so I pay for everything. But I also have absolute control over everything! Which I like, because lets face it, I'm all about the control, lol

But when I was accepted for training with a guide dog at the facility in San Raphael, California, the representative gave me lots of information about the very generous stipend that the facility awards to dog users throughout the career of the dog.  I just figured all the guide dog facilities did this.  I did not want the responsibility of having a dog in the end, and that was a long time ago, but I wonder if tthat might make a difference for you when you're ready to consider.
