Bennie is definitely in adolescence

What a cutie. He's almost full grown as you can tell when he's by Milo. He's also gained a B-U-N-C-H of undesirable traits. From excessive barking to jumping on people (we were getting to sit for pats) and simply not doing anything unless there's a treat involved.

What do I mean about excessive barking? He barks in the middle of the night after he's been put in his kennel. If Milo has dreams, Bennie hears them and barks (sigh). There's also the wind, leaves, people across the road that he can see from the deck and other random things.

Thankfully he loves peanut butter. When Milo went through this stage he didn't like treats and didn't play with toys! Time to get back on the daily training horse. He was doing so well I drifted away from it. Bad me. Now I really have to work on not repeating the command and having yummy treats before I tell him to do anything so we can build back that success.
