[nagdu] walking in to objects

[Hannah Chadwick]

My trainer stopped me half an inch from a couple of poles I would have
smashed my face and body in to. We were going at a pretty good pace too so
if he didn't stop me then I would have seriously gotten hurt. It's a wonder
I go slower these days...

I would want to qualify my last message. I suspect that there are times that
one would want the trainer to yell at you to stop. If the dog was taking you
out in traffic and a car was coming, or you were about to walk off a cliff
or subway platform; and so that is all a judgment call, but I was just
wondering if the dog is getting to make mistakes enough to correct?
