[NAGDU] Hello

[carcione at access.net]

Tyrus is an interesting name.  I like it. 
I wouldn't do the puppy pads, because you then have to find a place to dispose of it.  But others say there's plenty of non-concrete around, and Jeanine has excellent suggestions as to how to teach him to go on concrete, even if he doesn't prefer it.

His name is Tyrus and he is a yellow lab. He will not go on concrete. I’ve tried and he just won’t do it. Maybe train him on puppy pads and carry those?

He won’t go on concrete so I’m really worried about it. Has anyone been to the Washington Seminar before? How did you handle this???
