[gps-talkusers] Re: New Blue Tooth ?Trekker.

The only requirement is that you have to have had your dog guide for one year 
before they will train you on the Trekker. The school doesn't matter. Also, 
Gerry, you do have to fill out an application even if you got your dog from 
them. I know of three people who have trained with the Trekker and they have 
Leader Dogs. All three had to apply for admittance.
