Hi David,
As long as topics are blindness related, then yes, a certain topic will be
allowed. I do allow for off topic weekends, so it turns into a general chat
list.
But I think because she was in an unfimiliar invironment, her behavior had
changed.

Last Friday I got interviewed to work with a Pyrenees. First thing was while
talking to the potential client she, the Pyrenees played with my guide dog. I
checked for behavioral problems such as aggression in different situations.
Naturally she needed to get used to me as well. I start work next Friday on
recall. I tested her on that when in our backyard she was fine. Well, as
fine as she could be. However, on an off leash trail with all the other
interesting smells is completely different. As I tell people, “Your dog
could do fine in the basic commands at home but take them out of that
environment and it is a different matter. I once worked with a dog on
stopping at curbs. In our neighborhood she was fine, taking her somewhere
else like a parking lot and she forgot. This is of course taking into
consideration that dogs like people have memory lapses.
