[nagdu] unfamiliar areas

[Marianne Denning]

Some of my dogs have been better than others.  That is why I ask the
person to keep talking.  If I wanted to teach the command I would
probably begin by having my dog follow someone he/she knows and give
frequent rewards and praise when the dog is successful.  Then, find
someone your dog does not know so well and keep working on the skill.
