What is exactly NILIF? I make him work for his treats or his food, I usually have him sit, lay down, paw, roll over, whatever tricks he knows best, and he deserves that meal. He is a really smart dog, I got to admit. He is a good dog, you're right, he's just still a puppy. We have started to walk him A LOT every day, in the morning, mid-afternoon, and evening right before the sun goes down - he loves it, and it makes him happy. So we do that and we are still trying to train him on how to walk on a leash, too.

Also, when my dad was home, he spent ALL of his time with Hank. He is truly my dad's dog. He is his baby. He is still adjusting to having to see that there won't be always be people around in the house. (come & go, errands, etc.) and we also trained him to "Go in cage" so he will go in there and stay there until we are back home from whatever we are done with, and he is allowed to come out. He is still learning.

Thanks everyone!
