Wish They All Could Be California Guides

[Sorry 'bout that title. But it's late, and why am I awake? Also, squonk, should "All" be capitalized up there?]

The California State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind has posted an open letter to out-of-state schools, suggesting they need to make sure their instructors who train in California are licensed: ...California law requires guide dog

Oh the stupid, it makes my head hurt. But you already know what I think about this, so I won't yammer on about it. Just, gah. Stupid.

Have not heard about this before. But, it's more than a little bit ridiculous.

[unsilenceddream]

Rediculous, definitely.

I personally think GDB has a lot to do with it. This is a sure-fire way to keep handlers and potential handers in CA tied to their school (rather than say, TSE, GDF or GEB) and/or encourage out of state-ers to go with GDB (they're the largest/most-well-known in CA) since they must meet the *gold standard* eh?

Total monopolizing/marketing ploy me'thinks.

What I'm unclear about (help?) is how California can require out of state trainers to take their licensing exam?! This seems odd.

Yes. :)
