That's a good video, Barkingdog, though it usually doesn't go quite that smoothly for us!

Remember to practice in between actual dosings, Koteburo--without the drops. Head in your lap, stroke, hold the eye open and move a hand up to stroke the head, then treat. Eventually, knowing the treat is coming, he should start cooperating a little better. After 12 yrs, ours are starting to catch on (Seriously, it only took a few weeks.) And when he does start doing better, make sure to do fairly frequent (at least once a month) practice sessions. (About the time you forget to keep up with the indoctrination, he's sure to need drops again! Some corollary to Murphy's Law, I think... )
