[NAGDU] Belto's Problems mostly resolved.

[Julie Johnson]

Glad things are coming together for you.  I think most every dog I've 
had has been more distracted by pet dogs than guide dogs.  Jetta is calm 
around other guides and nuts, well she used to be nuts, around 
neighborhood dogs.  She especially reacts to barking dogs.  Sometimes I 
wish I could understand dog because I think they must be saying really 
awful things, if her reaction is any judge.  Monty, who is nearly 
oblivious to guide dogs, will look at pet dogs and rarely even veer a 
bit from paying them more attention than what he's doing.

I think it's because guide dogs generally have better doggie social 
skills.  They present themselves as calm.
