Hi Mary Ellen and all,
Interesting that you should mention this. I just returned from Pilot
Dogs with a new dog and during our training on the streets there the
trainers several times mentioned being aware of hybrid cars and how
quiet they are. A good reinforcement to learning to trust your dog.
Maybe we need to build in a hybrid car detector into the GPS program. Grin

Hi guys!
gMan! If I hadn't had a fantastic do guide this afternoon, I likely
would havebeen a gonner. We were getting ready to cross a church
parking lot rear entrence on a somewhat quiet street when Peggy
jammed her breaks on and what sounded like a bycycle sped out of the
driveway and went down the street. I realized why she stopped, It
was a hybrid car with the electric part of the engine running.
Man I hope mobility courses for trainers and all dog guide schools
are addressing this problem because it is going to get worse and worse.
Just wanted you folks to have a heads up on this because we probably
see more and more of these vehickles on the road.
