[nagdu] Clarifications

[Robert Harris]

In a perfect world Nicole yes your right.  I've tried many many
different things to pass my monstermut through the detector without
setting it off.  After 6 or so years of flying and experience with the
same dog, I could in fact take everything off and put the dog in down
stay (Kirstin, Clara or Barney) but was very uncomfortable with it.  So
I came up with a thin rope correction collar and a rope leash and still
they patted me down %90 of the time so I quit all the extra work, left
my dog in full gear and let them pat us down (took only a few minutes
even in the worst of conditions and saved myself the slight
disorientation of going through that and "finding" my dog.  Have a great
weekend and hoe school is going well!

I think that I need to clarify a few things that may or may not have
been a misunderstanding of something that I have posted.

First, when replying with the new subject line, I should have put
removing harness and *changing* leash. At no time when going through
security is Lexia off leash. Yes, I remove the harness, but I do not
remove her chain collar and working leash until she is wearing her rope
leash.

Second, although not necessarily a clarification, yes, our dogs usually
interpret the harness coming off as off work. However, our dogs are
smart enough to know (or to learn) that suddenly exploding into a wild
energy ball is only appropriate at home or in certain places. Even if
your dog does not have on a harness, you should still be able to control
the dog.. Otherwise, there is a problem.

Nicole and Lexia who knows when to behave
