Thanks for the tip. Freeway has been in our family since he was 7 wks old. My 9 yr old used to help with taking him out and on walks. I have since relieved him of his duties and Freeway hasn't had any accidents since.... I think there was a definate corrilation. I have also started giving him treats everytime he does his duty. Liver treats are a wonderful incentive for him. I was thrilled to hear that you BC's are good dogs and you havent had any problems with them being overly aggressive. Freeway has the best temperment I have ever seen in a dog. I have heard horror stories about BCs chewing things and being so excitable.. We just don't seem to have any of those problems.. You cant tell that I am wild about our dog... Thanks again. Lynn
