Kennel Presentation: approached with a leash and baby talk- standing on gate, ears to the side, ate treats. Easy to leash
Leash Skills: tail moving between low and tucked. Eyes darting, zig zagging erratic and stiff movement back and forth. Tense body.
Sociability: jumped on me a few times, placing paws on my arms, scanning the environment, ears pasted back, heavy panting, tail would wag at times and others be tucked. He appears to be seeking reassurance, not necessarily showing sociability. When he was standing on the ground I would pet him and he would orient his head towards my petting hand and when I stopped he did not solicit more.
Touched on his back and sides. tail low and wagging slightly slower, ears pasted back and continued heavy panting.
Play: did not do
Dog Interaction:
Meeting Arabella https://youtu.be/jQR3xWQgkE0?si=dlG18q7CqlAx0rDD
Middle tail, curious, gave space often, good breaks.
Passed by a dog outside on the way to the pen- he hit the end of the leash after running towards the dog and then ran back at me and did a punce off.
Return to Kennel: easy
Color Level: not ready to level, want to spend more time with him
