[nagdu] Doggie Paws

[Doug Parisian]

A strategy that worked for me was, if my dog's paws were either in danger, 
or creating issues for others, was to tap/step on them with my feet until 
she moved her feet.  All my dogs got the message.  Better me doing that than 
some heavy-booted 300 pound person boarding a bus in minus 35 after my dog 
just got out of the cold.   Call it a mutation of the pain/pleasure 
principle.

Doug: walk softly and carry a big stink!
