I feel like I have no time since we adopted Sam! So sorry to have not posted in awhile. He was neutered last thursday and I think he is just about healed up. We left his e-collar off last night and I don't believe he was trying to get at his belly very much. We also distracted him with a peanut butter filled Kong toy so that probably helped. He wasn't allowed to go for walks longer than about 15 minutes, so needless to say, his energy was overwhelming during the other times. The vet gave us sedatives to help him calm down so he wouldn't injure himself/tear his stitches, but those didn't seem to kick in for about 2 hours!
We are trying to make sure he knows we are the leaders in the house. We've been watching Cesar Millan DVD's and read his books, and now I'm reading another book on dog communication called "The dog listener". The author shares some things in common with Cesar, but others she does very differently. I'm only 1/4 of the way through, so I'll let you know what I think when I'm done.
