[nagdu] walking in to objects

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

I think that the point that was trying to be made is that using dog traffic 
checks is not the way to decide when it is safe to cross the road. Yes, cars 
do come out of nowhere sometimes, but it is still up to the handler to 
decide when it is safe, not just tell the dog forward and hope that the dog 
will stop if it is not the right time.
