[nagdu] Fetching

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi all,

I've taught Gabe how to shake hands and we are working on learning to catch 
ice cubes in his mouth.

He loves ice as a treat.

The seeing Eye no longer teaches fetch,and I'd love some pointers on how to 
do that.

Ha! Good to know I'm not the only one who taught my guide party
tricks. She knows Paw (shake), High five (I can specify each paw with
both these commands), roll over, circle, and "get your bone". I used
food rewards in the beginning and she picked the tricks up very
quickly.
