History

Hudson was found dragging a length of chain and wandering the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart. Animal Control was called and they took him in. No one claimed him. No one adopted him, so he became a Steele dog.

Known Issues & Progress

No issues seen. Hudson can be bouncy and playful with other dogs but is generally respectful and affectionate with people. Even when I first let him out of his kennel he walks out and STANDS next to me, looking up asking, “Please pet me”. Such a good boy!

He’s a little “pully” on a leash with a collar, but not bad at all, and a slight tug on the leash gets him to stop pulling for a while.

He knows and responds to “come”, “sit” and “in your room”. Rewarding him with a small treat insures compliance. Hudson is all about treats!

He prefers not to poop in his kennel and as long as I let him out regularly will hold it until he can go to the yard. Actual house breaking should be easy with this foundation laid. Tendency to “mark” will go away now that he’s been neutered.
