[nagdu] commands

[Marsha Drenth]

When I went to Seeing Eye, my instructor told me that using emma's name all
the time, she will start to tune me out. Not that she doesn't already. So
this why I don't use her name first when in giving a command. 

I guess I am just too nice in that I apologize. Yes I too wish I would run
into the "I don't like dog" people. It would make things easier.

If people are ahead of you, they probably aren't noting if you are looking
at the dog, or at least that's my guess. I will have to be more aware of
whether I am using the dog's name.

I think we have all been in a situation where we thought the person was
talking to us and they were actually on the phone.  A simple, "I was talking
on the phone" or in this case, "I was talking to my dog." is sufficient.  I
don't apologize.

commands, but not all.  I also tend to look toward him when I am addressing
him.
