[NAGDU] Not impressed at all with Leader Dogs

[Marianne Denning]

I had a similar issue with Leader Dogs several years ago and they came to
observe the issue. My dog was attacked on several occasions by another
guide dog. The guide dog who was attacking mine was retired and I was able
to control mine. She always growled at other yellow labs (that was the type
of dog that attacked her) but she stopped as soon as I gave her a
reprimand.

Good luck to you whatever you decide.
