[nagdu] just say "no" (petting dog)

[the Pawpower Pack]

I started training my current guide, Laveau in June.  One of the first  
things we did was to teach her to nudge my hand when people pet her.   
She was rewarded with very high value treats from me, and it also  
helped that she is very much a one-person pup strongly motivated by  
her stomach.

Now, when someone pets her and I haven't given the cue "go say hi" she  
will repeatedly nudge my left knee and ignore the other person.  It is  
not nearly as much fun to pet a dog if the dog ignores you flat out.
