Q&A

KimI understand that sometimes you have questions for me that you don’t feel like asking on a blog post, or a question that is not related to a post I’ve written.  This is why I decided to provide a place for you to ask them!

If you have any questions you would like me to answer please leave them in a comment below and I will reply to them here, or if I feel like the answer is long enough I will write a new post explaining things and reply here with a link showing you where to find the information.

I look forward to hearing what you have to say!

    Hi there,  Can I say thank you for all your videos- they are very helpful.
    I'm a C4 incomplete Quad and I was wondering if you would be able to explain the set on your chair? I'm looking to buy a new chair and I would like to the position etc right. Do you know how to adjust your axle for positioning and pushing? How did you decide on the exact seating position? The dump? Backrest height?

    Many thanks

    Could you give me a tip on how to teach Anubis to walk in a straight line forward when in the guide harness. I asked a local trainer and he said it is very difficult to get a dog to walk in a straight line with now lefts and rights etc.

    So does that mean Duke is already done with his guide dog training or are there some things left

    Hey Kim, what is the current status of Dukes training?
  • Kimberley
    Duke's training is coming along nicely. He's been guiding for months now and we are going to get a serious start on service dog work soon.
  • I've noticed (having read a few of your old blogs, forum posts etc) that you seem to have dealt with becoming a quad relatively easily, given the frustration and distress others with SCI (not just quads) express. What's the secret, if there is one?

    What was the hardest aspect of it to deal with?
  • Kimberley
    Thanks for the question! You can find my response here. It was a bit too long of a reply to add here!
