Thanks Kathy!  And after I sent my original post it dawned on methat I don't have a big
enough crate in the house to start Cody on! LOL

And you are so right Mitzi!  And my instinct with Cody tells me he's gonna say,
"Okay, you threw that piece of hot dog in the crate, now *you go get it out!!!" LOL
He's so *not food motivated and he's so smart, I really think I'm going to have
a difficult time with him. I also hear him saying 'Ah oh, no way, I ain't going in there!"
I need to think long and hard about this before investing
$100+ in a dog crate.  Think you can get that hubby of yours to keep
a look out at garage sales for *me??? <BG>
You gave great advice and I thank you both for your time.:-)
