[nagdu] Interesting Names Re: guide dog book about young person

[Nicole B. Torcolini]

Do you use collar corrections with Mitzi?  I do not know what works with 
poodles, but I think that the way that some handlers would work on the issue 
would be to try to give a collar correction as it is happening.  However, I 
know from experience that sometimes catching them in the action is easier 
said than done.
