[nagdu] [NAGDU] ownership RE: Guide Dog Schools

[National Association of Guide Dog Users]

William,
	I appreciate your input on this issue. The challenge is that,
without an ownership agreement, the consumer has no recourse to resolve
issues when they arise. This leaves NAGDU in the position of advocating for
a consumer with no rights. Ownership agreements protect the interest of the
consumer. Without ownership, consumers are at the mercy of the training
programs. Without ownership, the consumer has no rights of due process. 

	I often hear consumers who disagree with our positions say they have
had no problems with the training programs. In my opinion, this minimizes
the experiences of those who have had issues. In light of the concerns and
experiences of others, would you not prefer to have an ownership agreement
that affords you the rights of due process and unwarranted, arbitrary
interference when it occurs? It is like purchasing insurance; you hope you
don't ever need it, but when you do you are glad to have it! 

With kind regards,
Marion Gwizdala

well, i have never had any problem with Leader, and my personal opinion is
thet the mater of ownership is, and should be between the handler and his or
her school, and NAGDU as a group should only get involved  if and or when a
school begins trying to remove dogs without a valid reason


There are none so blind as those who will not see
