I am not sure, but since Southeastern (Now called Dogs, Incorporated) has revised their program, you might want to contact them.

Hi list =3D3D3DE2=3D3D3D80=3D3D3D93

I have been trying to find out what Guide dog schools still train guide = =3D3D dogs=3D3D3D  for use in  a team with a person in a wheelchair. = Years =3D3D ago,Guide Dogs For T=3D3D3D he Blind had that kind of  = program but as far as =3D3D=3D

I know, they do not do it a=3D3D3D nymore.


I noticed on the Nagdu homepage that there is a woman in a wheelchair = =3D3D with h=3D3D3D er Guide dog walking next to her. So this would seem = that =3D3D there is at least o=3D3D3D ne school that still trained guide = dogs for =3D3D working in a team with someone i=3D3D3D n a wheelchair.

My question is=3D3D3DE2=3D3D3D80=3D3D3DA6 Does anybody here know what = schools that=3D  =3D3D might be?

Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.
