[Missouri-l] Accessibleworld Presents Guide Dogs Of The Desert On You And Your Guide Dog, Wednesday, November 10, 2010

[Nancy Lynn]

Newswire:
During our next meeting, we will hear from Linda Samulski, Student Services 
coordinator for Guide Dogs Of The Desert. With so many schools to choose 
from when making such an important choice, it is best to know all you can 
about the one you are considering. Linda feels so strongly about this school 
all three of her guide dogs have been trained and obtained from it. Are 
there special considerations in having a desert location? How long has guide 
dogs Of The Desert been in existence? What is its mission, purpose, and 
history? How many classes are held during the year? Does its location 
attract different types of students? What types of dogs do they use? What is 
their puppy raising program like? How does Guide Dogs of The Desert differ 
from other schools? Whom do they serve? What is the physical layout of the 
campus? Why has Linda gotten all three of her guide dogs there?If you are 
thinking about getting a guide dog for the first time and are curious about 
what happens during your training, Linda will acquaint you with this fine 
institution. If you are thinking of getting another guide dog after living 
some years without one and want to pursue a different school this time, 
please come to You And Your Guide Dog. As a student herself, Linda knows 
firsthand what training is like and what to consider when choosing a school. 
Without doubt, getting a dog is a big decision. This might be just the 
school you're looking for.
