Almost there...

 Yesterday as I was watching Jack and Bear eating their food, I noticed that Bear seemed almost as tall as Jack. So I went and weighed them both:

Jack and Kitty also sleeping

Bear sure is getting big and cute as ever

Jack wanting some jerky at my office desk.

Bear looks bigger here

Jack was 45 pounds (hasn't changed in a couple months), and Bear was 43 pounds.  Wow!  In about a week, Jack will no longer be the literal big brother.  Bear is gonna pass him up.  

I'm still sleeping on the couch with the dogs.  Last Sunday Bear was given a bit too many turkey bones and it was a throw up fest that night. Grateful to have wood floors for him to do that on, rather than carpet.  Thus I'm stuck sleeping on the couch with him and Jack until we can get some reasonable confidence that he will be able to go through the night without any accidents.

Last night he slept through the night without issues. We have been taking them on walks every day mid day when the sun is out and it feels great.  They love these walks. 

As far as the pulling goes with Jack.  The Shock collar no longer has any effect with Jack any more.  He just does a little twitch and continues to pull, or if he's off leash, just continues to run and do his thing.  So unfortunately that was a short lived method of getting obedience.  I've tried a new method (which I tried earlier but have gotten away from using), is this way of leashing Jack up. And this works great.  When he starts to walk even a foot ahead it puts pressure on his muzzle and he backs off to where I like him directly to my left.

Check it out.  This works:
