Not good if they really did that.  Heck, I am still fighting with them about
how they blacklisted me just because September was attacked and then they
claimed she was problematic even though she was clearly not working
correctly after she was attacked and the field rep did zero about it.   He
even saw her run street crossing, go on a sniffing spree, and run me into
things, which that dog never did until after she was attacked.  then they
tried to force me to get the physical completed by a certain date and time
which was not possible since the doctor I had at the time took at least a
month, usually longer, to get an appointment with him.

I heard something yesterday that quite upset me, but perhaps it's the guide
dog gossip mill running amok again.

I heard that GDB dismissed its last class 2 days before they would have
graduated, sent everyone home without their dogs, and told them not to
expect to get those same dogs if they came back.

To me, they'd practically finished their training.  They'd already gotten
attached to their dogs, and put in a lot of work, only to have their dogs
summarily removed and their work thrown out.  I don't understand why they
just couldn't go home a couple days early.  Was it one of those super-short
classes, or what?

 

Like California, Jersey where I live is in lock-down, but we are still free
to go out for walks, so long as we stay away from other people.  Not ideal,
but enough to get some guide-work in.

 

So, did this happen?  Was there an actual good reason, or was it GDB being
high-handed with its students, again?

Tracy
