[nagdu] releiving commandsRE: New to the list, and considering a guide dog from CA school-question

Thu Jun 14 18:57:42 UTC 2012

At Seeing Eye, we refer to the relief time as "park time" and we can use 
whatever command we want to tell the dog that it is time to relieve.  I'll 
say to Landon, "Get busy" or just plain "Busy, busy!" and he goes.  He also 
knows when I put him off the curb that is time for him to do what he needs 
to do.  I don't remember what TSE woould tell the new-to-guide-dogs folks to 
tell the dogs.

Lyn and Landon
