[nagdu] Guide dog school question

[solsticesinger at gmail.com]

I'm not a GDB grad, but have also taught my dog an off-leash heel command. I 
find it very useful in obedience, or, just to get her in proper position for 
guiding. Even at age 7.5, Caroline turns into a spaz at the sight of the 
purple harness. She spins and spins and spins. So, the off-leash heel works 
really well.
