[NAGDU] {Spam?} RE: Pilot Dogs Harness Question

[terrie arnold]

Well you know you can buy additional leases leases from pilot dog and the one thing about the pilot dog harness, that is different from other schools is the harness handle cannot be taken off of the actual leather harness it is attached permanently were a lot of other schools you can release the handle to make it easier for the dog to laydown which is one thing I wish pilot dog would do because sometimes when you're fine you're in a car or whatever it is difficult for the dog to lay down and some smalls places so by being able to take the harness handle off it would be more comfortable for the dog so that's one thing I see different from other schools

My thoughts for today
