Hi Ted and Cruise;
Welcome back and welcome to your new buddy.
turnstiles: go to the turnstile, release handle, keep hold of your
leash,heel your dog. swipe, go through, your dog will follow. If the dog
hesitates, call him to you and praise. I also
learned how to get us through those revolving door-type turnstiles but it
was hard and we had to squeeze together, keeping the dog on the right so it
had more room.
Feel free to contact me off-list, I live in New Rochelle.
