I use the same techniques when doing a presentation as shannon.  My girl 
stays at my feet.  Sometimes she takes a nap.  the school will teach you to 
clean up after your dog.  talk with the school about the releiving harness. 
Good luck.

Hi, Elizabeth.

I use a relieving belt for my dog. He's very nervous about pooping while he 
works, so the belt helps a lot. The poop goes in the bag, and he doesn't 
stop and look back at his butt every two seconds. Most people just clean up 
with a bag though. If you think a belt would help you, talk to whichever 
school you attend.

As for presentations and the like, I have always brought my dog to the front 
of the room with me. I've then told the dog to lie down and stay. If I move 
a little bit during the presentation, the dog doesn't follow me.

Hopefully, this is helpful to you.
