I'm just so happy, you have no idea! (Well, on second thought, yeah - you probably do! lol.)

The progress, itself, isn't much but it's enough to convince me that this might just be do-able. I'm not ready to celebrate just yet -- I know we aren't out of the woods (not even close) and it's still going to take a lot of time and a lot of work, but like I said - the fact that I'm seeing the tiniest bit of progress tells me that we can get there.

I haven't introduced a crate yet. I can't find one! I wanted to get the airline type because I think they'd probably be a little safer for him than the wire kind. I found one online at Petsmart, I think (or maybe Petco) but the reviews said that the door pin is so flimsy, the dog can escape with little effort.
Is there a particular brand of airline crate that's well-made??
