Actually Bennie was really good about licking, he only had to wear the cone for part of a day. He didn't seem to be in pain but I followed instructions just in case. He also got a chip in case he gets lost. He also got a tag with a bar code scan for quicker access to info.

In other news, Bennie's puppy class is done and we're taking on some different training tasks. Doing much more with "leave it" because he gets very bitey if we try to take things away when they're in his mouth. The spray of treats that Zak George recommends is great for getting stuff back. Also working on him not jumping all over us when we lie on the floor (ie abs). Now he sits and waits for a treat when I do it. Perfect!

Really can't believe house training this time around. Duffy ended up wearing pee pants because we just couldn't get compliance all the time. Bennie doing really well at letting us know when he needs to go out - and it isn't often for peeing/pooping. Pretty sure he'll have the run of the upstairs by the time he's 1 which is nice.
