Dan,

My understanding is that if you went to BLIND Incorporated for only computer
training that your dog would remain with you.  However, our centers are in
general not as into providing separate specific training in something like
computers as are some other centers.  This isn't to say it never happens, but
what I believe our centers are best at is providing an entire package.  We have
very good computer instructors, but our computer training by itself is probably
not heads and shoulders above anyone else's.  I believe our centers' packages
are better, though, at building confience and teaching overall skills.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
