When we first got Hank four years ago he was a real challenge. Most of the time he would just as soon take your hand off as not. He had real resource issues. This means once he had possession of an item he’d take your hand off if you tried to get it back. We worked with he for a long time and today he went to a new vet and offically achieved real dog status. When we got him he didn’t know how to play. He’d just lay in the corner. We started by teaching him to sit, than lay down. We taught him to play ball and now he loves to play fetch. Last week we went from getting him to drop the ball in my hand to me being able to take his favorite ball out of his mouth.
He visited the vet today with no drugs. Vet gave him three shots, checked his teeth (by putting her fingers in his month). We had to change vets because when he was really sick a couple of months ago our previous vet refused to treat him.
Hanks been a family member for four years and is deeply loved Jean and myself. He’s a joy to have in the house and great fun to be with. As of today he’s TRULY, “Hank – the Dog”.
