It's settled

Hank is officially a Good Dog.

We've been adhering pretty closely with the Cesar Millan style of training and Hank has been responding very favorably, so getting him settled into the McClendon pack has been going well. In addition to learning various commands, some of which he already knew, a big element in the training is sufficient exercise. Given how tired out the guy gets after we walk him, we are pretty certain this is more exercise than he's ever been given. The foster family did tell us that he was kept in a crate while they were at work, and they ran a very tight ship even when they were home, so all this walking hither and yon is pretty new to him. And honestly, it's new to us too, but we all welcome the change, especially since we get to start it as the weather is just beginning to cool off. 

One thing I've discovered today is that he gets really confused by the camera. I get down on his level, which is different, and then I hold this thing out at him and flash a bright light. Not cool, says Hank. He got downright agitated about it earlier today, so I had to nix the session.
