OK, I've been reading the blog Rox sent, and it has a section on impulse
control!

It sounds like what I would do is put some food on the floor, far from me
and Krokus, but where he can see it.  Then I c&t for not going for the food.
If he goes for the food, I catch him, turn around, and take him far away for
10 seconds, then we come back and start over.

Gradually, we get closer to the food, over a period of days or weeks, I
guess.Have I got this right?

Since I can't stop working him in the meantime, and NYC is a garbage dump,
will my efforts be ruined by him picking up junk when we're out, and is
there anything I can do about that?

This is pretty exciting, especially if it works.

Tracy
