[NAGDU] picking up after dog

[Debby Phillips]

Sandra, for the first few days, we don't pick up, and 
instructoffs tell us what our dogs are doing.  This helps me 
because I begin to recognize the movements my dogs are making.  
After that though, we begin touching our dogs and picking up 
after them, and they show us how.  TSE has done this since my 
first dog in 1981.  Back then it was encouraged, but people 
didn't have to pick up.  Now I believe everyone is taught how 
unless there is some physical reasoy why someone can't pick up.  
I think Pilot is dead wrong not to teach their 'students to pick 
up.  If people choose not to when they get home, well, that's 
their choice.  But you need to know how.  It's like at NFB 
training centers, owe learn to do lots of things that people 
might not do ever again, but it's good to know how or that you 
can.    Debby and Nova
