[NAGDU] Boarding buses.

[Christina Moore]

I work my dog by having her in front of me when going up the 
stairs.
Hope this helps in some way.


God Bless,
Christina

I work my dogs onto a bus by stretching my arm out so she has 
enough
room to walk in front of me safely.  most buses where I am have 
railings
on both sides of the stairs, so you can hold the rail with your 
right
hand while working your dog on the left, or vice versa.  Heeling 
would
also work, but I would only do that in a place where I am 
absolutely
comfortable.  I always work my dog off a bus because I don't know 
how far
the bus is away from the curb and that kind of stuff.

 Good points, Becky.

 Dutchess didn’t dive, she very slowly army crawled up to the

the army crawl, I’d have zinged her for that, too
