Eating and housebreaking tribulations

I want the best for our new bundle of joy. Doesn't everyone want to do what is right for their new addition to the family?
I saw this nice heavy weight stainless steel bowl at Petco. It has a rubberized bottom to keep it from sliding around while your pet is eating and drinking.
It LOOKED like it would be the appropriate size for a 10-week old puppy.
A week later Baxter can hardly fit his ever-growing mouth inside it.
He is growing like a weed. At least the weed isn't poison ivy!
He truly is a smart boy.
Before he is allowed to eat I have been making him sit and stay. Good lessons in self control.
Last evening he did it on his own!
This morning he needed a gentle reminder. He is also heading to his crate after eating for a little quiet time. Something Gt. Danes needs to do after eating to decrease the likelihood of bloating, a life-threatening emergency.
Leash breaking is coming along quite well. We have Dr. Tracy Johnson to thank. Thanks Tracy.
