[nagdu] New guide dog school

[Larry D. Keeler]

I aggree with that Nicole!  I try to correct my dog as little as possible 
the traditional way.  I sometimes still do have to but often enough I just 
have to say something or just stand there until she decides that she 
shouldn't be doing whatever it was I didn't want her to do.  It works more 
often than not.
