[NAGDU] Treat delivery

[Tami Jarvis]

Tracy,

That sounds like it's about how it goes with me. Not too graceful or 
elegant, is it? /lol/ I do most of that in training, so the delay and 
awkwardness don't seem so obnoxious. I'll still occasionally reward my 
working dog at a down curb, then the whole thing seems silly. Different 
perspective, I guess.

The good thing is that once my dogs have gotten more interested in 
moving on than in fussing with my clumsiness, they don't want to bother. 
Whew! That's also the point where what they want to move on to is the 
next sniff spot, which is more interesting than food lure, so then I 
have my work cut out for me. /lol/

If you discover an efficient, graceful way to give treats at curbs, do 
let me know.

Tami
