Thanks Karen,
I'll try that tip with the recall.
I have now put a saftey gate up at the bottom of the stairs so Barley is banned from pasing it for the time being!.
For those of you that have been following Barley's progress:He has settled in well and has 95% come out of his shell.He is still getting used to "wierd" noises but that will come with time.
He loves a cuddle and chews everything in sight~we have a 2 year old son so his toys are getting munched on constantly!.
His new dirty habit is having a quick drink from the potty so i have to be lightening fast at moving it!.
He is now in the process of having a mad half hour and chasing the cat around the house (in a playful way!)
Update soon,
Sue x
