[nagdu] First dog concerns

They have used this method for years to keep the dogs from getting too close 
to traffic and if it happens to you with your dog it is a little hard to 
handle but ... first and foremost you have to trust your dog!!  If you start 
2nd guessing your dog then the partnership is finished.  If you think 
traffic has become a problem or you need someone to come out and work with 
you ... call the school.  But under no circumstances should you start second 
guessing your dog, yes the dog will notice this and will lose confidence or 
get lazy and start letting you do all the work.  But if you really think 
you're having some trouble with traffic, call the school.

Hi, all,
One question I have to ask is that when Chris H was in training and the dog 
got too close in trafic, why was a rolled up newspaper used?
*Am curious*
I figure something like that would definitely not only traumatize the dog, 
but wouldn't it lower confidence?
