[NAGDU] Traveling in Pairs

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello. In addition to what others have said, I know of some couples who 
switch off when traveling. One person takes the lead for a few blocks, 
then they switch off. Stacie and I plan on trying this out when we start 
traveling together with both of us having dogs. Right now, I usually 
take the lead when we travel if one is behind the other. Several times I 
have walked behind her, but her dog wants to make sure his peeps are all 
accounted for, and so he has yielded the lead to me. I figured it's an 
alpha thing, so it's how we have done it. So, once I have my own dog, it 
will be interesting to see how we end up doing it..
