[nagdu] Petting interfering with work

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Dar.
That sounds like some serious interference, if so many people petted your 
guy that he didn't want to work.  I don't know what's best to do about it, 
but I think you've got to do something.  Could you make him be obedient when 
you catch someone distracting him with petting?  Make him do a couple sits 
and downs?  Though me, I'd probably start speaking very sharply to the 
petters, if I caught them.

For a long time, people at work have ignored Ben, but some new hires have 
come in, and they're saying Hi to him when we pass.  He's getting a bit 
distracted by it.  Time to sharpen him up a bit, and to tell people not to 
bother him when he's working.
Tracy
