[nagdu] Question about the Ins and Outs of the Seeing Eye

[Tracy Carcione]

Sorry, all that long reply, and I forgot something important.
I really like the emphasis TSE puts on traffic work.  It's part of why I
chose to switch, though GDB dogs do great traffic work, too.
At TSE, traffic checks start after only a couple days, and one never knows
when another one may come along.  It wasn't just 2 or 3 on traffic check
day.  By the time we finished training, I had complete confidence in Ben's
ability to keep us from getting run over.
