[nagdu] Introduction

[Kelby Carlson]

That's really odd.  I wasn't told this either; I'm going to have 
to see if it works.  If it does I'll feel really bad for keeping 
him tied near his bed for no reason.

At GDB they don't tell us this in class, but the dogs have been 
taught
the "Go to bed" command.  I didn't know this till one day out of 
no
where I did this, and it worked like magic.  I usually tell Anise 
this,
and she naps on her bed for hours.  Not sure why they don't teach 
us
this command if the puppy raisers work so hard on it.

  If even keeping the leash attached to my belt loop rendered the 
dog too
 underfoot, then it made sense to use a tie down until I was 
confident that
 the dog could be trusted.  Once trust was established, I have 
used "go to
 your place".  Works like a charm--most of the time.

 Believe it or not, a long-time handler showed me this skill.  It 
probably
 isn't much, but if you don't know you can wrap the leash around 
something,
 being shown how to do it when a tie-down isn't around is a huge 
deal.
 I found this post a bit mean.  No, it isn't rocket science, but 
not much in
 this world is.  I kind of put it up there with somebody pointing 
out
 something obvious like "Pack lunch the night before" when you 
complain that
 you have a hard time packing lunch for the family in the 
morning.  Not a
 brilliant solution, but a useful and kind one.

 Well, there isn't much to this essential skill of anchoring a 
dog.  It is
 good to work with the dog on staying put; early on, though, a 
tie down can
 be helpful.  I can mostly get Fisher to stay somewhere now.
