[nagdu] Inquiry From New List Member

[Hope Paulos]

Hello. I'm a certified High School Spanish teacher, although I'm not 
currently teaching. I can tell you, when I was student-teaching, I had no 
difficulty with the dog. She layed down on a rug that I put down for her in 
the back of the room. When we had lunch,I would take her for a short walk, 
and she'd be fine. She's a shepherd, and enjoys a lot of exercise. She was 
great with all the people. At certain times of the day, depending on the 
class I was teaching, I would let her walk around the room and  visit with 
the students. That's up to you, though, and how your dog reacts to people. 
Each dog is different.
Hope this helps.
Hope and Beignet
