[nagdu] Embarrassing Guide Dog Handlers

[Marsha Drenth]

Rebecca, 

I think what you are saying is that you think handlers should not be so
judgmental about situations? Do I understand you correctly? 

This is a very true observation. There has been some inappropriate
judgmental messages in this thread. Let's think about what we say in our
emails before we send them, please. 

What if it was your dog? What if you were the handler? Would you appreciate
the judgmental comments? Probably not

Marsha, Moderator

So did you offer to help this person?
Maybe the handler doesn't give a rat's behind. Or, maybe they don't know how
to resolve the issue.
Knowing that something is not okay, and resolving that issue are two very
different things.
Better question is how first-time handlers can be so mean and
unconstructive?

Some guide dog handlers are simply an embarrassment to us all. I was talking
to someone today and they were asking me about a coworker who was a guide
dog handler that had a guide dog that had accidents in the office on a daily
basis. How can anyone take you seriously if your dog is so poorly behaved?



If the dog is sick that is one thing. My dog got sick, and had an accident
in my dorm, however, that was because he was sick, and I did not make it
outside quick enough. But a dog having an accident the same time every day
at your desk and the dog is not sick is purely unacceptable.
