BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Per volunteer 11/8:
"Out with Tyson Byson for the photo shoot. He hasn't been out in two days. No issue leashing him, he comes out, and was calm walking past the other kenneled dogs. He actually takes his time, smelling everything. He peed and pooped in doorway to exit. Poor pup's probably very housetrained and was just waiting to leave his kennel.
He was good through the fence with 2 dogs. No reaction, just nice smells. As we're walking he is still doing lots of smelling. He doesn't seem phased by the traffic on the avenue. He is beautiful, looks very healthy, and he is strong. In the yard, he's doing more smelling, so much so that I couldn't get him to look up to get a decent picture. It was funny to see him just walk through the pool, filled with a little water - no reaction getting his paws wet, didn't phase him at all. No issue returning him to his kennel, though he does walk in slowly. He likes to stop and smell everything."
Per staff 11/8:
Kennel Presentation: On the backside of his kennel, came to the front when I called to him, ears to the side, loose body. Took a treat through the bars.
Leash Skills: Easy to leash and came right out. Walked pulling mildly, loose body.
Sociability: Aloof in the yard, walked around sniffing, nose to the ground, ears back, loose body. Eating on and off. Would not come over for treats or calling. Tolerant of all handling with the same body language, moving away when I stop. After some time together, came over when I crouched down and gently nudged me with his head with a loose body then moved away and returned to sniffing.
Play: n/a
Dog Interaction: Met Nola at the fence, good greeting, loose body, easy to move away with light leash pressure.
Return to Kennel: Walked back loose leash. Once in the kennels pancaked multiple times. Able to keep moving with a treat tail and leash pressure. Once at kennel hopped right in. Leash was clipped and removed with that method.
Color Level: Blue
