Behavior Notes:
Per saff 1/7/26: Took Sneezy out with a volunteer for training. She was easy to leash and lead out of kennel. She pulled lightly on leash, but it was manageable. She went to the bathroom outside and she explored the yard once we entered it. She was super interested in other dogs and would play bow and jump up to interact with them. She sat very nicely for treats and took possession of them gently but did not eat them. She would allow light touching, but did not seem interested in being pet. Easy to return to kennel.
Per staff 1/7/26: Kennel Presentation: At the front of her kennel with soft eyes, ears forward, and tail down. She took a treat gently through the bars.
Leash Skills: Easy to leash, pulled mildly through the kennels. Once outside she immediately went to the bathroom. Kept her nose to the ground almost all of the time we were walking.
Sociability: She is more aloof. I was able to pet all over, she just stood there. She did not move away but did not solicit attention from me. She knows sit and takes treats gently
Play: got excited over a squeaky toy and chased after it but did not play with it.
Dog Interaction: Saw a dog walking in the yard, became excited and pulled towards them. Easy to move away from them. When we were in the pen a dog walked by and she calmly went to the fence following him and sniffing.
Return to Kennel: Stopped half way through the kennels made a kissy noise and said "come on" in a high pitch voice . She continued to walk and went right into kennel without issue.
