well i remember i used to race with my golden other dogs down that central 
runway the eye calls the main hall!  interestingly enough, drummer is the 
first dog i've had that heels exactly proper, oh well, i know what you mean.  
it will take me a while to teach this dog to guide me around my building on 
leash.  regarding abrupt stops, i discovered an interesting thing.  i used to 
think the eye's martin gale provided superior sensitivity between myself and 
the dog, i.e. communication.  as it turned out, the s hooks or the martingale 
has nothing to do with any of that, it is the tension in the harness handle, 
i.e., the dogs pull.  so if the dog slams on the breaks, the handle dosn't 
slide forward but the tension breaks and you still end up practically falling 
on your face!!  drummer still pulls a little harder than i would like but i am 
sure he'll get board with area and slow down a little.  by the way, compu 
voice will be getting into this echo as soon as we figure out this front end 
mailer, "front door".  it isn't exactly compatable with "spitfire" but we'll 
work it out... dan , i feel more like now than i did a while ago!
