[nagdu] New guide dog school

[Tami Kinney]

Yeah, it is always fun to hear all about how untrainable poodles are, 
especially for guide work, when you're standing right there with your 
poodle guide. /lol/ Especially when you trained the poodle guide all by 
yourself. Um... Silly people!

The key to training a poodle is to let the poodle train you inhow to 
train it. Then it's all good. /smile/

If you want to succeed in the control-freak style of absolute submission 
and obedience, then you're going to be humilated in the course of 
failing miserably. The problem there would not be the poodle. Not that I 
have anopinion or anything. /grin/
