...with how it's going. There are those sticking points, but they are being ironed out.

I can imagine Chelsea jumped on Kara and Josh. It seemed to take forever to keep Krypto's feet on the floor around Ds. He really is attached to him, but wasn't showing it in an acceptable way. Nothing else was as difficult to train him not to do.

I finally started giving Ds the air spray (similar to your shaker-ma-bob.), before he came in. That seemed to help after a few times. He's pretty good now.

That's something that we had to deal with here, too, especially when he was a puppy - Dh's thin skin. I don't have to tell you how easily it gets torn.

Not wearing shorts in the summer must be miserable. But, I understand it completely.

Good luck with your training.
