He's getting a very different start to life than any of our other cairns because with retirement I have the time to start his day with a grooming. We brush teeth, comb hair and check toes for haggy nails. It's nice that it's summer. Milo came to us in October and Duffy at the end of November. House training is harder on the human in colder months - pups do their business quickly but all the coat stuff means it's easy to be late.

Since we picked his name early Judy could call him Bennie from the start and Bennie mostly knows his name. He has no idea who Duffy is which is ok since at this time we only use that name when Bennie is doing something undesirable LOL. We are really trying to do the positive training where we treat and praise; we do some "sit", "flat" and recalls with treats. We're also at Dad place for a month before going home to the big yard. Both Milo and Duffy spent their lives in one house. Bennie's getting is start at Dad's house; home will be big change with a larger yard and wider open spaces. He'll still have a wire kennel with his smaller home attached. We'll see how that works out.
