We're beyond the the elbow issue. Definately wasn't the helper if you know Feurhaus (sp?) from this board.
The dog is biting nicely these days and we've just started making him work though a little more pressure to which he is responding well.
And to stay on topic. My dog isn't ready for civil work quite yet but he's a little edgy and will bite a man without a sleeve if pushed...now THAT was the helper's fault.(not jimbo) ;-)
