Hi Pat, i don't know if you are on this list as well as the Support List but if so, how are you getting on with Chloe your new guide dog who you trained with last year? And Alex, how is your training going or maybe you have finished by now? I trained with leo last year so have had him nearly a year now. we had a very shaky start and at one point i even thought of sending him back as he is very large, strong and a real handful. However, since I was given a gentle leader, which is a bit like a head collar, we have got on much better as he can't now pull me towards other dogs the way he used to. I am glad I persevered and all the hard work is now paying off. Cheers, Angie
