[nagdu] update from the Motley crew

[Chantel Cuddemi]

Hi Laurie,

Motley's pull isn't that strong to warrant a gentle leader. He only pulls
harder than usual at a store. Otherwise, he does great!

Hi Chantle,

It's good to hear from you. I'm so glad you heard from Motley's puppy 
raiser. Keep on working with Motley on his pulling. I think it probably 
would be a good idea if you did use his chest pad in his harness to help 
with the pulling.  Also, have you ever tried using a gentle leader or haulti

on Motley when he pulls? I'm sorry you won't be taking Motley into a bowling

alley.

When I was  at Leader Dogs training with Gipp it was during the winter 
months. And there was a very cold day with temperatures below zero and snow 
the trainers decided that we weren't going to work our dogs on this 
particular day. Well the trainers decided to take the entire class and our 
dogs to a bowling alley so we could go bowling. There were 15 students and 
15 dogs at the bowling alley. All the dogs did great.

Rick and I are on a bowling league on Monday afternoons and Gipp does great 
at a bowling alley. He curls up and goes to sleep. The noise and sounds in a

bowling alley doesn't phase Gipp one bit not even the ball coming back up 
the return after we have bowled.  He's so well behaved and he just lays 
there and sleeps. Take care.

Lori and the Gipper
