[NAGDU] picking up after dog

Fri Jan 8 18:18:24 UTC 2016

That's how it was with GDA, too.  Everyone had their own fenced in relieving 
area, and after the first week or so we were to pick up and put the bags 
toward the outside of the fence so they could be picked up when the trainers 
washed down the relieving areas.  Sometimes there wouldn't even be an 
instructor out there, so we were pretty much on our own.
