Deb, our first Border Collie (Duncan) was obsessed with snapping at water. Imagine that, a Border Collie obsessed. Anyway, he had a go with Loeb Fountain while I was a postdoc at Purdue U. Having his head whipped sideways when he snapped the water jet never dampened his obsession.

Deb and Ed - I get that. Tornado-dog is very high energy. I have found that I need to go out back and throw the tennis ball for about an hour in the sun to wear him out. And even then he needs more time spent playing with his sister. If we don't wear him down, he gets into trouble. If I get him out like that, he is usually pretty relaxed the rest of the day.

My puppy had kennel cough when we brought him home. He is now 3. Do I still need to have him vaccinated for it every year?
Talk to your vet. Depending on your circumstances, you may not need to do so.
I don't normally do bordetella since my dogs don't get in close contact with other dogs. They get it if they are going to be boarded. In the past, I did because they hung out with my dad's show dog who was around a lot of other dogs.

Poor Ben. Over the years, I have really limited my dogs' interactions with other dogs. We don't do dog parks (had a chocolate lab pee on my Dog while the owner stood and laughed) and we don't touch noses, etc, with strangers. It's just not worth the risks.
A friend's new puppy had kennel cough and the honey really helped.
