Clyde and I took a couple of days to get used to it but now = we are doing great he heels next to me. knows to wait for me to go through doors first so I don't run him over. it has a seat that swivels and it reclines which is good for my back. the only thing is it doesn't go = through the snow very well. if I can get across the street then the sidewalk is plowed so we can get around the block. Clyde is coming along really = well I still am not going to put him in a guide harness yet. I want him to get really good at everything before I do that. he has now been putting his harness on without a problem. thanks for all the tips. we weren't able = to go to class last night because of my back no one could give us a ride = and I had to use one of my chairs last night. we only missed how to teach = your dog to lay down and the target stick. we already know that stuff = anyway. =20 Karyn, I just wanted to say be careful with Shane's barking. that is = how Buckley started. that's why I wanted to get Clyde out in public as soon = as I got him to see any behavior problems right away. the only place that Clyde doesn't go with me is when I help my parents every other week for = a couple hours in the morning. then he stays in his crate or goes to day care. I have only had one time had a problem when this guy sounded = angry with him and was stamping his feet at him. he was doing and saying = things like he was going to kiss him but it was the way he said it that scared Clyde. I have been clicking and treating Clyde when we are around him = now. and he even gives Clyde treats. so that is working out better. Ridge and Clyde SDiT
