[nagdu] Guide Dog Use at national Convention

[Bridget Walker]

Hi all,

This will be my first time at nationals. I have taken my guide to two states and he did great with some minor dog distractions. I have learned to stay off to the side or in the back if I need to in force any corrections.  
This is slightly off topic but, does anyone know what the best strategy is when going through airport security with your dog? This is my first time flying. I was told to put my dog in a down stay and walk through then call him over.
Please let me know if I need to know anything more.

Thanks,

Bridget and Paulson

What are your reasons? I have heard reasoning both ways and thought I would get everyone's opinion here. I will be at the convention and hope to meet you  who are attending in July.
