I'm having a really hard time with Hank. He will be a year old at the end of August. For the past week, my family went to Florida, and I stayed at home to watch the dog & had a couple paid photography gigs to do. I have noticed a huge change in him - he's been very territorial (which I had a incident over the past weekend that showed me that he is NOT good with other dogs) & it seems like he runs the house, does what he wants, unless I put him in the cage. He's okay with it. All you can say is "Go in your cage!" and he goes right in. He just does not show this type of behavior when the entire family is here.
Mike stayed with me every night, and it seems like, he responds better to the male figure rather than myself. He won't take me seriously but he will take Mike seriously. I think, I am ready for my mom & brother to come home tomorrow because I am going out of my mind with Hank. He is really my dad's dog than anyone else's. Don't get me wrong, but I love him but dang.. from what he's done in a week just in the house alone, he is wearing me out. I have a job interview this morning and before Mike left for work, he woke me up so I can get ready, he stopped me from going downstairs and said, "Hank was very very bad." and I thought he was over exaggerating and showed me my pants ALL RIPPED UP and a huge hole in the middle, and caught him chewing on it while he let him out of his cage to let him go out to do his business - AND he peed in the living room, THREE TIMES, and Mike said he was outside when he let him out, and he was there, and he went. He must've done all this when Mike was getting dressed to go to work & I was sleeping. All I can say is, I don't trust Hank anymore and he was a good dog, he still is, but just sometimes, I wish he'd "get it".Mike kept telling me, "Your dog runs the house, seriously."
So my question is, Does he actually run the house?
