All good replies - thank you!
To clarify - bedtime (and Last Potty Call) is ~11pm - after which he commonly (and always has!) makes it til 630 or 7, which is great for me - we're on the same schedule. Ice cube is a good plan, though, I'll try it.
Most of these things seem obvious to me (or probably to anyone that's ever had a great dog relationship in the past), but "back then" we didn't have this "internet thing" to fill our heads with bad ideas.
A couple more: Collar or harness? Short leash or "spring loaded extendable?"
Finally - and off topic - this dog loves learning tricks. He catches on quick, and has excellent memory (so far). One thing he hates, though - ROLL OVER. He loves to do it on his own, he loves belly rubs, but he will not do it on command...?
