I am heading to Guide Dogs for the Blind's Oregon campus at around 7 tomorrow. I can't wait! I applied to the school last year but I chose to wait to get my dog since I would have had to miss a week at the beginning of the school year so I figured it would be better to wait until I had nothing happening to go to get my dog. After I walked with the instructor on my home visit where she simulated the movement and guiding of a dog using a harness I knew that it would be much better to travel with a dog than a cane. I plan to chronicle my training day by day detailing the training process at the Oregon campus. In my fervor to learn about GDB I searched for a blog where someone did this but I was unable to find one. I hope that creating such a blog it will hopefully help someone else who is going to training at the Oregon campus and who wants to know what to expect in training.
I will also post various other things on this blog from random stories to my thoughts on different issues. If I ever do work on any digital creative projects I will post the results here as well. 5:30 is going to come early so I'm going to rap this up for now.
Aaron.
