[nabs] Guide Dogs in High School?

[Liz Bottner]

Hi,

I had my first dog in high school. Honestly, if at all possible, I would
wait, not because of the immaturity of the person, but more for the sake of
the other students the team will be around and the sake of the team in
general. High school is a high-stress environment. I will even go so far as
to say that it's more stressful than college. If you can make it work, then
more power to you, but it really does take the right set of circumstances
and right team. The first year that you have with the dog is the most
crucial, and so that is another thing to take into account. I don't know
that high school would provide you the time and right environment to be able
to focus on what needs to be done.

JMHO,

Liz
