Hey PA, always remember, or what I always do when teaching, is command, nick, command. It re enforce the command. You keep teaching here, you will know when its ready to move on, gonna teach you a little, this will be called ....... dog reading 101, hahaha You will tell, promise, the fenced in area works nice don't it. Good call on reducing heat, if you have a nick, and a continuous, you can control the heat with a cont. nick, instead of a hot setting, and a split second nick, you can do a low setting, with a little bit longer cont. nick, I do this when I have a dog ready to start breaking from the chase or shot. Good work and posts, to all of you, you guys been paying attention

Later Jonesy
