seattlesetters, I took your advice and the wife did what you said and it worked like a champ. She put just enough pressure for him to wimper and he went and just sat down. When she called him over, we knew she got in his head. Now I know this was just the first time, but it was progress. Hey, I would like to thank all of you for your time and advice. I will keep you posted. Fishface...........
