My suggestion - be nice to people. I've had wonderful people from my group help me in the run off with two of my own dogs. They don't ask for anything, but a thankyou and a lot of praise helps. I gave a bottle of Baileys to one helper because she really went out of her way and she had so many of her own dogs to show. You'll always find heaps of people willing to help. Even I have been asked, and I'm bollocks at it.
