Lots of work! lots of effort by the owner! lots of effort by the pooch! and a heck of a lot of desire coming altogether at once makes that special relation between dog and master unique and special. When it comes right down to it what happens is between the pooch and the master because after the school experience is over it is all new, all new and everything starts over again. Therefore once a person has the basics and is confortable with using a dog I think they could go to just about anywhere and make it work. However even knowing that if I ever get another dog I still think I'd go back to Seeing Eye or Guide Dogs. No matter what the schools teach theough, love is what really makes that special team work.
