Home check

I took Jesse on a home check with me yesterday, 24th, and he behaved impeccably! What a clever boy.

He hasn't been out for a walk yet, I was going to take him tomorrow for the first time after the op, but it's pretty wet, so I might wait another day!

The wound is fine, hardly any bruising (thanks to arnica). He does wear the buster collar when he is not supervised as he does lick, but other than that, he is very good.

He already sniffs the other dogs privates a lot less, so it seems to have an effect already.

We also gave them bones tonight for some dental care... All went well until Jesse walked away from his bone, Dylan got too close and Jesse went for him (guarding from a distance). Luckily I was right there and could stop them before Jesse got to Dylan... So I took the bone up immediately (which I should have done in the first place). This is the only situation where we really have to watch them as they are all bone/chew guarders and although know the rules and don't go and pinch stuff (and therefore don't cause any problems), there are some situations where they will still go for each other - if they think that the other is taking an interest... even if they have finished with the bone! Naughty pups.

It doesn't worry me though as I know exactely what it is and they never get bones unsupervised. So it really isn't a problem.
