[nagdu] Still food and chewing problems

[mary wurtzel]

Hello,
My dog does this diving thing sometimes walking in and out of 
restaurans.  I am trying so hard to correct him.  I use the 
buckle-high when I know we could have a problem.  Sometimes food 
can appear in more unlikely places, though.
I also have a question about Christmas.  I have felt guilty 
because of the people on the list who say their dogs never try to 
get thingsing to chew when loose at home.  My dog is still under 
my watch.  I am concerned about him getting hold of low-hanging 
ornaments on the tree.  It's like having toddlers again.  I used 
to babyproof as much as possible so I didn't need to be beaying, 
"no" all of the time.
Perhaps people could think about making generalizations which may 
make the newbies like me,  feel we are not doing a good  job with 
our dogs.
This food issue, and chewing are our big challenges.  Felix is 
doing a marvelous job of guiding me.  He is so careful with my 
balance challenge, slowing down for cracks or unlevel places, 
being so careful that I don't bump in a narrow spot.  I am so 
grateful for him and so proud of him.  I will never be able to 
pay back the  Guide Dog Foundation for this great independence.  
Mary
