ren...thanks again for the links and your willingness to share what you know. As i said, I need to make sure Clyde's obedience is rock solid before I begin this, but will definitly be educating myself in the meantime. I'm thinking that if all goes as planned with the therapy work and the pulling, I'm gonna torture him at Christmas. I'll put reindeer ears on him and make him pull a sleigh(wagon in costume) filled with presents. :D :D :D . Only problem is, I'm gonna have to find a Santa suit for me.
