[nagdu] gentle leader

Sat Jun 22 22:21:19 UTC 2013

I took Fisher to the Braille Summit. He started out with the barking stuff he does, and of course he will always dive under tables. He wore the GL for three days. He was good with it, and the barking subsided. Thursday there was none and Friday one growl. There was a lot of vocal stuff going on among the dogs there, too, and after the GL went on him, I think he initiated two or three times in the period.

Mary, why are you so nervous about taking Felix to convention? It is a little hard, especially if it is the first time, I think, but it ends up working all right for most of us who do it. If you feel really nervous about it though, maybe it isn't in your best interest to take him. I hope you do though, for I'd love to see him.
