Thank you again JoanneF. We are in early stages of training and the commands are not hugely 'robust' at the moment. Either I am doing something wrong or that is just part of the process. I am trying to keep it simple so he gets good at the ones we are doing rather than training loads things...

Thank you both so much for your help. It is helpful to understand the space concept and I think you are both right - I need to find a way to minimise his "overwhelm". Also good to know that there is a fear phase on the horizon - I need to get him through that smoothly. Tough clothes are...
