Indeed I wouldn't - and didn't. Where I made my mistake was allowing it at

True, but he'll get there. You seem to have done a really good job
with his training.

Funny thing, though, he seems to prefer Labs. I have never seen him try it
with, say, a Rottie, Dobie, or German Shepherd - it's always a Lab.

Heh. He's smart enough to know what dogs are likely to let him get
