Huck's Choice

Crate training is a very essential element to multi-dog homes. Huck came with a little baggage and we weren't sure how well he would take to his new crate. He had a bad past experience where he busted out of a crate and made a nice huge mess for his last foster home. We set up a tie-down in our home for him, but ideally want him comfortable in a crate in the future. With lots of treats, we are slowly reaching our goal.
Good news! Just last night, Huck made the decision to go into a comfy bedded crate, rather than hang out outside the crate on a dog bed loose in the room. He made this decision on his own without any treats, commands or coaxing from me. YAY! I take this as a sign that he is slowly getting over his crate angst.
Hooray!
Huck got his neuter stitches out today and is doing well. His thyroid levels are increasing, which means that his meds are working. I look forward to him coming out of his shell a little and showing us his true colors. He is so mellow and sweet.
