[nagdu] GDB's new methods

[Margo and Arrow]

yeah, me, too.  I would think you'd have to or maybe have to do a treat sort 
of thing to have these shorter classes.  let me say that again:  In order to 
have these short classes, I'd think that maybe you'd have to constantly give 
food rewards.  Hope that made sense.


I know Arrow encountered a recent GDB graduate from the shorter classin 
Dallas and he was sniffing her pocket until I corrected him and she had 
doggie reats in her pocket.  that's all I know, folks, so I'll stop here.
