Barry what great advice.

If you are talking about your confidence to go out and about with your guide dog, then perhaps you could buddy up with a new guide dog owner in the area? Guide dogs could help you with this. When I trained with my latest dog, my trainer introduced me to a recently blind, new guide dog owner. I became his mentor but we soon became friends and now meet for lunch every week. Also, something that I tell my girlfriend every time she goes for a driving lesson is that she has done it before so she can do it again. Use it as a mantra when you feel your confidence sliding. Hope that helps Barry -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of andrew shipp Sent: 15 August 2007 6:35 PM To: access-uk Subject: [access-uk] how does one build confidence Hi all, I need some help here in how does one build there confidence level up, I have lost a lot of confidence in the last few weeks and need to get it back.
