I am sorry to hear about Sophie.

Good luck choosing your school from the three you listed.

Chantel and Motley.

Subject: [nagdu] Update on Sophie Girl and a new guide dog school

Hello listers. I sent a message a short while back explaining that Sophie
had to go back to training because of her scavenging. It has been decided
that Sophie and I simply aren't a good match. I've also been hearing about
this problem occurring consistently with dogs from LDB. So I have made the
decision that it's time to switch schools. The ones I'm choosing from are
guide dogs for the blind, the seeing eye, and possibly guiding eyes for the
blind. I like the geographical location of all these places as they feature
busy areas to work in. I also like that they all offer follow up as well. I
do have some questions though. I thank you for taking the time to read and
answer. So here goes. What training methods are used with the dogs? How
effective do you feel these methods are? During your class experience, how
were you treated by the trainers and administration? How old are the dogs
when they are issued? Thank you for reading these questions. Feel free to
answer off list if you wish. I'll post again if any more questions come up.
Thanks 
Alyssa
