[nagdu] Questions about Pilot

[Kerri Stovall]

Hi all,  Thanks for the information about traffic. Is there anything you all could add as far as from a handler's perspective on their other training techniques, thoughts, methods, etc? besides traffic? I'd love to hear when you receive your dog, on which day after you get there, about crate training, about the types of training walks you go on, about your final walk, etc. What's that like?
