<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Intermittant positive reinforcement worksgreat,
though! Just witness my dang dog going to the Phillips Farm Park (through locked
doors, a fenced yard, a chain, and continuous "bad dog" training) to get the
occasional peanutbutter sandwich or to be petted by kids who will romp with him.
He turns into a maniac when he sees a vehicle turn down that long
driveway....Ahh, LaMont, the doofus! If he shows up while you are at the park,
point up-hill and say "Mont, go home". throw a rock if he doesn't. Please don't
kick or shoot him---he just LOOOOOVES people.</FONT></DIV>
