Thanks everyone...I'm trying to keep all this in mind. Unfortunately we had a really, really bad day together and I took him over to my friend's house early (I'm going on vacation in 2 days and they are keeping him during it). We're gonna take about 2 weeks apart and see if I can come back to this clean slate. I'm finding that I get too mean and I'm afraid of raising an equally mean dog, which is what is happening right now (today's session ended with him terrified and me with a gash in the heel of my hand).
