>That is great. I have one problem getting my dog from GDB. We are so far
away that our
class never kept up with each o there. it was a great experience and I
find that it works
for me.
I am happy for you that you were so pleased with your training and school.
What breed is Dixie?
Blessings from Me and MS. P.

>> Hi all,
>> I have an interesting question and would like feedback on this. When
>> is it legal for an employer to make you crate your dog? I ask this
>> because sometimes at work, I go to different departments to help them
>> out if they need extra help. I work for a blindness agency and my main
>> job is as the morning receptionist, but I’ve worked in the
>> Bindery
>> and making folders as well. When I’ve been in these areas, I have
>> been the only one who uses a guide dog. So, I’ve always had my
>> dog
>> on tie down underneath my table/work area. Everyone has seemed fine
>> with that, since the dog is out of harm’s way and can be nice and
>> comfortable.
>> Recently, there have been people who are doing folders who have gotten
>> guide dogs. They keep these dogs in crates, but I am not sure if
>> that’s by choice or if they are required to now. I’ve been
>> asked
>> to do some extra work helping with folders, but I would greatly prefer
>> not to crate my dog. I’m not even sure if they would make it
>> mandatory, but I’d really prefer tie down. It will be harder for
>> me
>> to monitor my dog, if he is in a crate. Plus, I am still new to Mambo,
>> so I want him close by.
>> Since I used to have Pascal under the table, I don’t see why they
>> wouldn’t allow me to have Mambo in the same area. But who knows?
>> So, back to my original question… In what instances can an
>> employer
>> make it mandatory to crate your dog?
>> Thanks for your insight!
>> Deanna, Mambo, and Pascal (who went back to Grandma’s yesterday)
