[nagdu] Fw: [Buddys-dogscoop] Fwd:[Blindattic]NewCompanyAnnouncement

[Margo and Arrow]

the regs state that if you contact your dog while walking through the 
detector and after, they can swab your hands.  You can of curse touch
the leash because you have to keep your dog under control but you can't 
touch the dog.  also, no longer can we walk through the detector and have 
our dogs at sit and then call them through.
