[nagdu] What do you do when you're angry with your dog?

[Tracy Carcione]

Dar, I'm with you.  There are some things where the dog can't have a "bad
day".  He has to be aware of traffic every time we're in the street.  He
has to be aware of the platform edge every time we're on a train platform.
 Both are situations where one mistake could get us killed.
If we got a traffic check, and he wasn't paying attention, I think I'd
insist someone work with us until I was sure of him again.
