[nagdu] tSE teaching "find"Re: GDF training

[Mariea Harris]

TSE does not teach "find" or "fetch". They do teach the dogs "inside" 
and "outside." They use "zuke" for targeting and you can change that to 
"find." They taught "fetch" years ago, but it put a lot of strain on the 
instructors backs so they no longer teach it. I do wish they taught the 
dogs to find certain things by word like "escalator," "elevator," 
"stairs" and the most common "chair." It takes a lot of time to teach 
them a new word from "zuek" but it can be done. Some trainers may use 
"find" but the 2 classes I've attended with in the last 1 and a half 
years has not done so.
