[nagdu] walking in to objects

[Tami Kinney]

Julie,

Please, be more nutters! /lol/l I think you're the one I got the 
playground ideas from.  Now that I'm taking puppy out for solo walks or 
double dog walks with Mitzi, from whom she learns a huge deal, I figure 
I might as well do training while I'm at it. So if she gets to a point 
where I'm harness training her, I may just use your PVC idea for 
clearance... Just to see what happens. Poor Alize! She is destined to 
become a guinea pig for guide dog training, if nothing else. Then 
again... She seems to have the right temperament and grasp of things, if 
still in a very basic young way. So who knows? I still plan to get a 
poodle or dobie pup when it's time to truly train a replacement for 
Mitzi... Unless I conveniently end up with a large mutt for a guide. 
Then DD and I can just trade dogs, and it will all be good. Or 
something. /grin/
