An excellent idea... a kind of puppy school where we can pee on the carpet without being hit with a rolled up newspaper. At least not too hard :-) And then be shown the correct way. It would greatly help to break down the issue of which first bite to take of the elephant. Can I suggest that there be some sort of 'canned' examples/tests to show the mechanics of what needs to be done? A candidate for another video Rob? > > -Rob -- Cheers, Ian C
