[nagdu] Event

You are most welcome. My Girl is pretty fast at working things out, however,
she is very friendly and at times gets distracted.
Unfortunately people step in when we know we need to give our Guides the
time to get back on track.
I am not an experienced handler, godiva is my first guide, but I am certain
I know Her better than anyone else, and I know better what she is capable
of, Smile.
If you are ever frustrated and need to talk, feel free to contact me off
list.

Thanks so much,
I'm pleased this is happening to others.
I have had dogs who thought faster than he does, but this doesn't bother me.
he needs encouragement where I have patients to show him once I understand
what to do.
Even I have to feel the door to think about what is happening.
he was wearing his canny collar so sniffing the floor wasn't the problem
this time.
I didn't want him to visit others as we were going to our table.
Thanks for writing.
