A Tired Dog is a Good Dog

BENJI TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO PUT IN HIS MOUTH, AS USUAL.
BENJI RED FUR GETTING LIGHTER
Daily walks has helped calm Benji down. Less barking, less biting and more puppyful playing. Walks include socializing with neighbours, dogs and playing fetch in the parks. 10-15 minutes of training "sit, down, paw, roll over" and in-house fetch also help tire out my pooch.

And strangely enough, he's getting cuter as he gets older. His fur has lightened to white and red. When he was 7 weeks old, he had dark brown, red and white fur. Well most of the brown has disappeared and his fur is getting longer and silkier! 

With 2 daily 20-40 minute walks every day, managing my 10 week old cattle dog has been easier. MUCH easier. Now with sunshine and warmer weather, it's actually become pleasant! I have yet to work on his separation anxiety and my annoying neighbours are very rigid about his barking...sending me text messages instantaneously....but I like to look at it from the positive: I have a house trained, cute puppy!
