[nagdu] the public and dog breeds

[The Pawpower Pack]

Debby, 
actually many of my clients for whom I have trained dogs have met me in this way.  If you see someone doing something with more success than you are doing it, I think it's only natural to ask about more information.  
I never thought much about them being sighted or me being Deafblind, just people wanting to do better. :)

Then she said, "I want a service dog, but the money for training is quite a lot".  I asked her what her disability was.  (Probably not politically correct).  Anyway, she said, "Oh, I mean, I want a companion dog." She said that her German Shepherd was 8 months.  I told her that it wasn't too early to work on basics, like sit, heel, down, etc.  She said that he pulled her out the door and down the steps of her apartment, and she almost fell down.  I told her that she needed to work on heeling the dog.  Her bus came then and she left, but she did thank me.  Here I am, not a trainer at all, telling this lady the things she could teach her German Shepherd.  Lol.    Debby and Nova
