[nagdu] follow Command

[Danielle Antoine]

Yeah I did nonverbal work often with my second dog and she responded
well. It worked for us. I never found either of them following with
little attention paid to looking for overhangs and stopping for curbs.
I guess I just got lucky. Both had trouble with animal distractions
and needing to park en route sometimes though. Danielle I like what
you are doing with willa with the bell.
