[nagdu] A thing I teach my dogs

[Michelle]

What I did is to just say forward if I can't feel the person's back or 
whatever it is in front of me. I say "O sorry!" and just pull my hand back, 
and eventually, I guess the dog just learns out of habit to follow the line 
instead of trying to walk around it! Occasionally Troy tries to walk around 
it, but most of the time he's great with queues.
