[nagdu] Lack of speed

[barbandzoe at comcast.net]

Hi, 

I listen to a dog trainer on the local radio station, and she will tell people that when the dog isn't listening to you on a walk, just glad the leash and do a 180, when the dog starts up again, 180, You will look funny going down the sidewalk, but that way the dog is thrown off guard and will have to start paying attention to you because they don't know what the heck you are doing.   Now I don't know if you can do that with guide dogs or not, but I thought I would just say it.

Dogs don't like the GL and it does slow them down. I employ much of what Tracy does with the dog. I am glad you are in touch with the school because it is serious enough that it is wreaking havoc with your schedule.
