She is still lunging at kennel door. After showing her the leash she calmed down and started crying, I opened then kennel door and she went on her bed and laid down and crawled into leash loop. Able to walk and do complete handling on her. While in the volenteer room she is loose and wiggly, has zoomies but comes back and lays on lap. Unsure about others but after introducing starngers she warms up.
