My elderly friend is in the hospital, and may not be coming home. I have been feeding and watering his dog for 3 months and the dog still wont let me get close enough to pet him. I bring him treats when I go over, and toys, yet he wont take them from me, only if I put them on the ground and walk away. The dog is about 4 years old. A black lab. He has never been around anyone but my friend, never walked on a leash, never been for a ride in a car, or to the park.Never been out of his yard. So how do I turn this dog into a good pet, so if my friends dies, I can find him a good home?I spend a half hour every weekday with this dog, and a couple of hours a day on the week ends. I have 3 small dogs and 1 cat, and am worried that if I bring my friends dog here, he will kill them, or be very unhappy. So I need to train him to be a good pet, so if I can't keep him, I can find him a home
