Carter Updates

Well, Carter has been doing pretty good for the most part. We have kind of slacked on training him again- BUT now that I got that awesome book from him, we are going to work on some of the tricks in it! Cant wait!

On one of our walks last week, we came upon another dog (like usual), and the owner asked if Carter was friendly. I told him that Carter was very friendly and then we let them sniff each other. Well, his dog then snapped at Carter and bit him! I didnt realize that it was bad until later that day :( He has a nasty cut on his neck. He kept scratching it and not letting it heal, so we had to get him a cone last night. He hates it. He was so mad at John after he put it on him.

Look at that face :( my poor baby.
John got him a soft cone so we could fold the sides down. With it that way he can see easier and eat and stuff still. I still take it off when we walk, but he has to keep it on the rest of the time. I think he feels like this:
haha. poor puppy.

Anyway, since he has that cut on his neck- no pinch collar for him. and he was AWFUL to run with this morning. I am not sure if it's because he has some freedom from the pinch collar or he just went crazy. Stupid dog darted after another dog into oncoming traffic. Ugh. The rest of the time he kept pulling and cutting me off and tripping me up. I was so irritated at him. BUT then during lunch, he was MUCH better- so who knows. We really need to work on training him on the leash better, I think we kind of stopped some when we put the pinch collar on him. We definitely need to get better at that.

Other than that he's doing good. He LOVES bullysticks and has already gone through all of the ones we bought, so we got some more. We also got him a treat ball- it's supposed to stimulate a dogs mind and make him think about how to get the treats out. It's really funny watching him play with it because he smacks it against everything:



Silly puppy.

I also love when he sleeps like this :D Overall, he's good. Mom and Dad just have a lot of work to do with him!
